I need your help to set up the X fonts properly. Following the

Ignore this. It means nothing.
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
This is what is keeping you from working.
As I remember my solution was some combo of the following items:
1.) Re-installing Cygwin with "Default Text File Type" set to
"Unix / binary".
This causes cygwin to use "LF" instead of "CR/LF" for the End-Of-Line
terminator.
2.) cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
mkfontdir *
This rebuilds the */fonts.dir files with the correct EOL.
Hope this helps. Good luck! :)
