Open a command prompt and type 'startxwin.bat' and return. Wait for the X-server to start (puts a little "X" in your task bar). Try again. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

I you are using a script like the sample sent by Kenneth, why not doing something simple as: PID=`ps -a | grep XWin | cut -d " " -f 6` if [ -z $PID ]; then \cygwin\bin\run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error fi \cygwin\bin\run xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l You can also use pgrep in PID=... if you have it (makes that part clearer and more portable). -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
"cannot open display"
Good afternoon, colleagues! I have established CygWin to compile under Windows the program developed in gcc. At compilation of console applications - all OK. All applications, even rather complex, are started and work without remarks. However, any attempt to create the program with GTK+, leads to that at their start there is a message "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:". At distribution kit CygWin there is a program gtk-demo.exe. Obviously, it it is guaranteed it is compiled without mistakes. It is not started and also writes "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:".

I find it convenient to have a single icon in my Windows task bar
that, when clicked, opens an xterm window without me having to know
or care about whether or not Xserver is already running. My icon is
associated with Cygwin's X11's standard startxwin.bat script that
essentially runs the following two commands (edited here for clarity):
\cygwin\bin\run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error
\cygwin\bin\run xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l
This script is designed to do what I want: The first command starts
Xserver, which is smart enough to detect whether another instance is
running and to die if it is. Its (undocumented) -silent-dup-error
switch, no doubt, is supposed to cause Xserver to be silent about
dying, which is what you want for this scenario. The second command,
then, starts xterm in the presence of a single Xserver.
This script has worked fine until I upgraded Xserver from 6.8.2.0-4
to 6.8.99.901-1. Now Xserver is rather unsilent in the presence of
another instance, displaying a Windows alert box ("A fatal error has
occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit..."; see attached) and creating
a /tmp/XWin.log file.
I was hoping to learn whether this behavior is considered a bug or
not and, if it is, whether it's under consideration for a fix.
BTW, this change was mentioned in two previous posts--by Chuck on 7/12
("Xwin.log error") and by me on 7/17 ("fatal error with X Server
6.8.99.901-1")--but neither post illicited a satisfactory response.
Please forgive me for making one additional attempt.
