In addition, searching through these gmane newsgroups is not straightforward since Google groups does not return them. Startx fails to initialize when it worked yesterday. I ran setup and the process may have not completed (it was late and I needed to sleep). After running setup.exe again, I navigated to the System category and reinstalled rebase. Then I reviewed the README file; kill all processes associated with cygwin; ran ash; and typed /bin/rebaseall -v; the utility performed some actions and returned without errors. I fired up a cygwin window and startx would still not initialize. The console gave me the following font error. sageQueue trapped WM_QUIT message, exiting main loop. winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded. FreeFontPath: FPE /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing. The cygwin console appears fully functional. The console has returned some errors when running make, but these issues may be completely separate. Please give me whatever insight you may have on these scenarios. I have already spent considerable time troubleshooting these issues and need better guidance. XWin was started with the following command line: X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard Read again my posting. I said without and not with (which wouldn't make sense at all if there is a winClipboardIOError). startx is a shell script. Copy it, find the line where XWin is started and remove the arguments (parameters). Then start this script. I did not realize that startx was just a script. Honestly, the clipboard is the main reason for me launching Xwin. After editing the script and removing the clipboard argument, the console returns a winInitMultiWindowXMsgProc - Caught IO Error. Then I removed the multiwindow argument and the console returned the following error. I don't have much time to evaluate this scenario or the patience; hopefully someone has seen this scenario before. [XWin log] I can't see any error in the new log you posted. The only thing I can advise you is to try to run the startxwin.sh and startxwin.bat file to see if they make a difference... Thorsten Sorry about not posting the error log. I was helping several other people with their basic computer issues and made this oversight. Both startxwin.bat and startxwin.sh fail.

Xterm, rxvt, mrxvt, etc....
Hi all, I just wonder what is the current status of terminals for X in Cygwin. I currently use xterm, but I've seen people using rxvt and mrxvt. Also, I heard that rxvt is actually currently supported in Cygwin, something that xterm apparently isn't. Is anybody using rxvt, mrxvt or something else that would care to share opinion/information/clues here? Thanks, Gustavo. -- 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/

Well, neither on mine and there are no mount statements in the postinstall scripts. I think some years ago there was a mounted font path but I might be mistaken. Anyway, check if all the postinstall sripts have been run, and consider reinstalling X or Cygwin or Windows...

startx fork() problem with Vista and solution
I'm running a fairly vanilla install of Windows Vista and had the fork() error with startx that has been previously reported. I would run startx and it would only successfully start up every second time I tried to run it, otherwise giving the fork() error. The solution was to run rebaseall. Unfortunately, this didn't work right away. It bombed out with error 6 on several files -- cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll, cygcrypt-0.dll and cygz.dll. I moved each of these to a temporary directory to get rebaseall to run. This fixed the fork() problem with startx. Is rebaseall called by setup at any time? (I know the documentation, which seems old, says not.) If so, then these error 6 problems may be bombing it out.
