Thanks very much.

Could you please also install the xorg-server-debuginfo package, remove 
xorg_cygwin_crash_reporter_gui and show the log you get then?

Thanks for the bug report.

The current XWin version is 1.15.1-2.  Perhaps you could try again with
that?

If that doesn't resolve your problem, I'm afraid that the log doesn't
contain enough information for me to identify the cause of the crash.

Could you then install the xorg-server-debuginfo package, which enables
a more useful backtrace to be generated in the log, and try again?

With 1.15.1, I also enabled a tool I have been working to automate
sending better crash information using minidumps.  If you would like to
try that, download it from [1] (anonymous ftp) and put it into /usr/bin
and reproduce your crash again.

Try looking in the FAQ - there's a link to it at the bottom of
every message on the list.

This is almost always caused by choosing to install for DOS style
text files.  If this is what you did, be advised that this causes 
all sorts of other problems, so if you've only just installed 
cygwin, I'd recommend deleting your cygwin installation directory 
and reinstalling from scratch.

   Run in circles, scream, and shout.

Then I'd like to cite the Cygwin problem reporting page at
http://cygwin.com/problems.html, which has some useful hints on how to
report problems properly.  For Cygwin/X crashes, it's usually also useful
to provide XWin.log.

Re: fatal error in running startx (after installing KDE)

 Fatal server error:
 CAnnot open log file /tmp/XWin.log
 
 I have to add that i installed my Cygwin and KDE3 on Windows XP under  
 admin login
 The strange thing (at least for me) is that the KDE can run when I log in  
 as admin
 but when I login using another login user name, the KDE won't work

make sure any use can write to c:\cygwin\tmp

 Hello,
 
 I have just installed Cygwin and it works for what I really need to do.
 However, when I want to try X11 with the command x, a fatal error
 occurs.
 Could you help me please?

Check the archives. I've already sent an answer which got blocked by your
spam filter. 

Seems the multiple exclamation marks in your old subject made it upset.

  Fatal server error:

Are you running Cygwin/X on a terminal server or any other
system where more than one user can be logged on? Then most likely
another user has already started XWin. To be able to start XWin
when another user is already running it, change the startup in
startxwin.bat from XWin some options to XWin :1 same options
and adjust the string for display accordingly (from :0.0 to :1.0).

Or, if you won't ever need to share the Cygwin /tmp directory with the
other users, simply create a user-level /tmp mount that points to a
user-specific directory, e.g. 'mount -u $USERPROFILE/Local Settings/Temp
/tmp'...

Re: fatal error

Oleg,

Something is weird with your Xdmcp server on the Linux machine.  Which 
*dm are you using (e.g. gdm, kdm, xdm, etc.)?  Check /var/log/messages 
for some output from whichever *dm you are using, it should give us some 
useful information.

Dear support team,

Cygwin is installed on the new machine (Pentium III 533, 384Mb).
It works perfect on the previous computer (Pentium 4 2400, 256Mb) but
on this machine shows fatal error, when I start startxwin.bat with the
line: XWin -query morpheus.tran.wau.nl (Linux Debian server)
XWin.log file is attached.
Please help to get it working right,
thank you very much
