Hi there
i have installed the latest version of cygwin after removing my older version
as i wanted to run the latest version. all i want to do is emulate linux on my
windows machine. i start cygwin from the start menu, and then:
try to run xterm.exe from the resulting cygwin window but this always fail with
xterm Xt error: Can't open display. i have tried setting my display to
localhost:0, 1.27.0.0.1:0 and many other things none seem to work.
try to run startxwin.bat i get the following error
startxwin.bat - Starting on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003
11363 [main] run 5336 tty_list::allocate: No tty allocated
8 [main] run 4388 tty_list::allocate: No tty allocated
(the contents of Xwin.log are listed below)
however if i run startx, i do get an xterm but it lacks alot of funcitonality.
i have tried going back to my original install, this no longer works either.
i have spent all day trying to work out how to fix this (googling, mail list
archive searches etc) and have failed so any help you could supply would be
very much appreciated!
Many thanks
claire
