You haven't given us anywhere near enough information to let us work out what your problem is. What follows is a general procedure to follow to get X working. If you installed cygwin with DOS line endings, you would be better off cutting your losses and uninstall cygwin. Then start again using UNIX line endings. DOS line endings just cause more trouble than they are worth, and there is no good reason to use them. (The option is being removed from setup for cygwin 1.7) Next, read these links (even if X is now working): Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ If you still have a problem, check /tmp/XWin.log for errors. If you're still no wiser, try searching the mailing list archive: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/ In particular, search the archives for references to any error messages you see in /tmp/XWin.log. If XWin aborted, the error message related to this will usually be near the end of the file, so it's best to work backwards through the file. You might be suffering from http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA If you have any of the software on the list, it's important to try uninstalling it. Just "disabling" it is unlikely to be enough to stop such badly written software from interfering. Finally, if you're still stuck, you need to follow the instructions here: > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html In particular, *attach* the output from running "cygcheck -svr". For X related problems, you should also attach /tmp/XWin.log.
