I just installed cygwin and am having trouble getting X to run. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 8600 (Pentium M 1.6GHz, 1680x1050 LCD, ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro) and I'm running WinXP Home (fully patched). When I start I get:
$ export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 $ startx XIO: fatal IO error 22 (Invalid arguement) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests [blah] My XWin.log file says: ----------------------------- BEGIN ------------------------------------ Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 4.3.0.65 Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] XWin was started with the following command line: X :0 -multiwindow ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1680 h 1050 winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning OsVendorInit - Creating bogus screen 0 _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1 winDetectSupportedEngines - Windows NT/2000/XP winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw installed winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 00000007 winScreenInit - dwWidth: 1680 dwHeight: 1050 winSetEngine - Multi Window => ShadowGDI winAdjustVideoModeShadowGDI - Using Windows display depth of 32 bits per pixel winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed - User w: 1680 h: 1050 winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed - Current w: 1680 h: 1050 winAdjustForAutoHide - Original WorkArea: 0 0 1016 1680 winAdjustForAutoHide - Adjusted WorkArea: 0 0 1016 1680 winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed - WindowClient w 1680 h 1016 r 1680 l 0 b 1016 t 0 winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed - Returning winAllocateFBShadowGDI - Creating DIB with width: 1680 height: 1016 depth: 32 winAllocateFBShadowGDI - Dibsection width: 1680 height: 1016 depth: 32 size image: 6827520 winAllocateFBShadowGDI - Created shadow stride: 1680 winFinishScreenInitFB - Masks: 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff winInitVisualsShadowGDI - Masks 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff BPRGB 8 d 24 bpp 32 winCreateDefColormap - Deferring to fbCreateDefColormap () null screen fn ReparentWindow null screen fn RestackWindow winFinishScreenInitFB - Calling winInitWM.
