Hello, Interesting. I quit cygwin including killing the X-server. Restarted my cygwin by double clicking the cygwin icon, executed "startxwin.sh", which prompted an X-window to open, in which I can now type !
Going back to the cygwin window in which I typed the "startxwin.sh" command, I can now open xemacs successfully and can edit. This seems like a solution. So, the x-server shortcut on the desktop may be at odds. This one has the following characteristics: Target type: MS-DOS batch file Target location: Singular Target: C:\cygwin\lib\Singular\startxserver.bat Start in: C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin Should I change somethings there ? The cygwin shortcut has the following properties: Target type: MS-DOS batch file Target location: cygwin Target: C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat Start in: (left blank) I have now made sure to have the full X11 package as well, as I noticed that some (only a handful) were not yet selected. However, I doubt whether this was the reason as cygwin prompts when dependencies occur. The keyboard is set up as American per default, as I think this is much easier to work with over the Norwegian one (or French or whatever). Greatly appreciated !
