Problem Starting Xterm
Hi, I have just installed cygwin on WIN XP, with the all xorg packages installed. But not the xfree86 ones because they say removed package beside them - which I take to mean they are deprecated? Anyway by using either startxwin.bat startx or startxwin.sh, the xwin program starts and has the black X in the system tray it doesn't seem frozen as I can toggle hiding it if I want, but no xterm starts, and when I try to manually start one using just the command xterm the response is: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: Could someone help me with this? Thanks Kevin XWin.log Description: Binary data
Re: Problem Starting Xterm
How are you starting your xterm? Are you giving it the -display option (xterm -display :0 )?

Re: problem starting xterm (resolved)
I found out that the problem was that I installed the Nortel remote sslvpn application manager that makes some changes to the system. Once I undid those changes all X programs started to work fine again. It is interesting what kind of changes to the system can interfere with cygwin programs in this way.
problem starting xterm
I use the startxwin.bat to start x on an xp machine at work. At home it
works fine. At work the X icon appears in the
tray but the xterm does not open. If I type xterm in a cygwin window it
starts. but if I type the full command
as in xstartxwin.bat i.e.
xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e
/usr/local/bin/bash -l
I get an error:
$ Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x5e)!
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal
Xlib l
ength error)
Major opcode of failed request: 41 (X_WarpPointer)
Serial number of failed request: 95
Current serial number in output stream: 94
This happens even if I omit the last part namely -e /usr/bin/bash -l
Any clue to what is wrong?
I attach the output of cygcheck -rs.
Thank you for any help.
