I am not sure if this is the appropriate group. In addition, searching through these gmane newsgroups is not straightforward since Google groups does not return them.
Startx fails to initialize when it worked yesterday. I ran setup and the process may have not completed (it was late and I needed to sleep). After running setup.exe again, I navigated to the System category and reinstalled rebase. Then I reviewed the README file; kill all processes associated with cygwin; ran ash; and typed /bin/rebaseall -v; the utility performed some actions and returned without errors. I fired up a cygwin window and startx would still not initialize. The console gave me the following font error. sageQueue trapped WM_QUIT message, exiting main loop. winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded. FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing. The cygwin console appears fully functional. The console has returned some errors when running make, but these issues may be completely separate. Please give me whatever insight you may have on these scenarios. I have already spent considerable time troubleshooting these issues and need better guidance. After rebooting the computer and typing startx, cygwin gave me the following error message.
