startx not working...(not a stale lock file problem)
I think it is not a stale lock. As there is no lock file to be found. Please see the logs below.

X11R7.4 is broke
Noticing Yahov's e-mail about the new X11 releases, I have been attempting to follow Yakov's upgrade path instructions. The instruction seem to imply that the following packages must be installed. However apart from the first package, all xorg-x11-* packages are not to be found in the cygwin setup repository. It is tempting to ask if anyone knows why, but I suspect only Yakov knows. X-startup-scripts - xinit xorg-x11-bin-dlls - libX11_6 xorg-x11-bin-lndir - lndir xorg-x11-devel - libX11-devel xorg-x11-f100 - font-bitstream-dpi100 xorg-x11-fcyr - font-misc-cyrillic xorg-x11-fenc - font-encodings xorg-x11-fnts - font-bitstream-dpi75 xorg-x11-fscl - font-bitstream-type1 xorg-x11-man-pages* - xorg-docs xorg-x11-{nest,vfb,xwin} - xorg-server Regards, asura -- 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/
