Hello, Windows XP Pro + SP3, cygwin 1.5.25-11, GeForce8600 GT (NVIDIA chipset), 2 DVI monitors 1680*1050 as dual span.
My goal is to use cygwin as a good xterm for remote login. For this I need to click "Start X Server (needed for emacs and surf)" and then click xterm itself. Unfortunately 5 attempts to install cygwin on this computer has failed - - installation itself is ok, but I can't use it. Clicking icon "Start X Server (needed for emacs and surf)" produces error: "A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit" XWin was started with the following command line: /usr/X11/bin/XWin - multiwindow -clipboard -silent -dup-error Below is /tmp/XWin.log (WW) /tmp mounted int textmode _XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created.

Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' What puzzles me is that after installation, reboot and clicking icon "Cygwin" on desktop there was only line written. If I remember correctly, there should be long list of after-installation activities in this window. After every bad installation I have deleted directories C:/cygwin, C:/cygwinDownloads and icons. I haven't tried to delete services, register etc. What should I do? I would prefer not to reinstall Windows.
