First, THANKS! $ startxwin giving up. startxwin: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server startxwin: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
The server is never started - no process in the Windows "Resource Monitor". When I try to start xedit (or whatever X based app) nothing happens, nothing appears. As for FAQ, I'm afraid I don't see anything that might help. I looked before I posted the original e-mail. ---John On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 8:21 AM, Jon TURNEY <jon.tur...@dronecode.org.uk> wrote: > On 12/07/2011 09:10, Jan Chludzinski wrote: >> I just did a complete installation of X11 from Cygwin 1.7 setup.exe. >> But when I try to start the "XWin Server" using the "Start" menu >> nothing happens.
