RE: no need to install xfree86
You can control how many windows are present, there size, placement etc. by editing the .xinitrc file you created in your home directory. The commands for creating the windows are down at the bottom of the file. (Also starts a clock) (Still learning X stuff myself, I did get KDE going pretty good!) Wayne Keen
RE: no need to install xfree86
I'm having a similar problem as Mr. Lee. I recently installed latest cygwin to run under Win98SE, which seems to run fine. Today, I installed xfree86 from setup on cygwin.com/xfree/ website. When I run startx, I get the following: --- $ startx xinit: No such file or directory (errno2): no server X in PATH Use the -- option snip giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno3): Server error. /usr/X11R6/bin is in my PATH. I have a .initrc file in my home directory. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Glenn A.

I remember that formerly i have to setup Xfree86 after Cygwin installation is finished..Now i found that with the present version Cygwin, the dir 'cygwin/usr/X11R6' is already there, and 'x11R6/bin' does contains such commands as: startx, xwin, startxwin.bat... Do i have to install xfree86 agin to use the x-window? since i tried startx, startxwin.bat, neither of them worked.

RE: no need to install xfree86
Hmmm... Sounds to me like you missed the XFree86-xserv package. Go back into Setup and select that package for install. Should fix your problem. From: Glenn A.

RE: no need to install xfree86
I installed the package, and XFree86 starts. I believe I had selected the default install options. It appears that XFree86-xserv is not installed by default. Best results starting XFree86 are obtained from running startxwin.bat. Running startx directly from within Cygwin results in three terminal sessions at startup. Closing first terminal window terminates XFree86 session. On running startxwin.bat, only one terminal session starts on startup and closing that session does not terminate XFree86. (Mr. Lee, it appears that XFree86-fnts 75 dpi, misc, and util fonts was already installed.) Thanks for the help. Glenn At 08:27 PM 7/12/02, you wrote: Hmmm...
