Thanks for your reply Thomas.
Are you sure you've installed the XFree86-xserv package? To verify it's
installed, check for the existence of /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin.exe and a
symbolic
link at /usr/X11R6/bin/X that points to it.
All present and correct.
Also, look for the existence of the file /tmp/XWin.log. If it exists,
post
its contents here.

Fatal server error:

(END)
I guess it's the fonts that are causing the problems. What do you make of
this? :
$ ls /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/
XErrorDB doclbxproxy rstart xedit xserver
XKeysymDB etclocale twm xinit xsm
XftConfig fonts proxymngr x11perfcomp xkb
app-defaults fs rgb.txtxdm xman.help
$ ls /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
ls: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts: No such file or directory
$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fo*
ls: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts: No such file or directory
Sorry if I'm missing something here, but something strange is going on with
that fonts directory! I have a single-user installation so presumably it's
not a case of not having read privileges for that folder
E:\Cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts\ with all subdirectories *is* there (I can
see it in Windows Explorer, I mean)
Any suggestions?
Francis.

Subject: Problems starting X server
Date: Sat, 20 Jul 2002 07:31:06 +0100
I have cygwin installed and working from the command line. I have
downloaded
and installed all the required X packages using the standard Cygwin
setup.exe.
I am running Windows 98.
I have tried running startx xinit startxwin.sh and startxwin.bat
without success. An X window flashes up then disappears.
Here is my error message:
---
/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server
X
in PATH
Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin is in your path and
that X is a program or a link to the right type of server
for your display. Possible server names include:
XFree86 XFree86 displays
giving up.
/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect
to
X server
/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
-
/usr/X11R6/bin is in my path, but I'm stuck on what to do next to get X
running.
