1) to isolate where the error comes from, manually start xwin try the following :
a) open the bash shell, if not sure check the properties of the shortcut that on desktop or cygwin folder in start menu execute the bash.exe from windows explorer as with any program exe file b) type ' xwin' at the shell only (will look like a dos or unix shell window) a blank window will appear and an icon in the taskbar on the right will appear, (nothing can be done in this window) c) now start the window manager (this will give the min, max and close buttons to programs) and a desktop the screen that was opened in step b use twm or icewm or 2) simply disable any window manager used, then restart find the '.xinitrc' file may be in /etc/x11/xinit/xinitrc directory, this can be edited in windows by using notepad even comment out using # look for twm or icewm , which is typically the last line of the file 3) try different window manager and see which works best eric lin-5 wrote: > > from bash shell: startx > serverauth 5052 > giving up > xinit:connection refused<errno 111> > > please help, eric > > -- > 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/ > > > -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/I-donwload-all-X11-packages%2C-it-still-not-can-not-startx-tp27008767p27020857.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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/
