Hi, I reinstalled xinit and xorg-server (Cygwin) because it wont start.
I posted this on the Cygwin Ports newsgroup but think this is a general problem that I could received debugging information/steps from the Xfree group. When I start up X via: # startx -- :0 -clipboard -nolock& The window comes up blank and then closed (exits). I see on the terminal: # xinit: XFree86_VT property unexpectedly has 0 items instead of 1 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 53: xclock: command not found/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc : line 52: twm: command not found xinit: connection to X server lost waiting for X server to shut down [1]+ Done startx -- :0 -clipboard -nolock I expected to see 3 xterms. (I know about xclock and twm not starting because I did not and do not want to install these programs.) How does one debug this?
