Starting XServer
Dear Sir/Madam I am having trouble starting the cygwin xfree server. I was running cygwin in e:/cygwin I deleted this via the setup program I installed cygwin in c:/cygwin. At this stage XServer was working but not bash. I went back into setup and reinstalled bash. Bash now works. XServerver throws up the following log file (WW) /tmp mounted int textmode _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information winAdjustVideoModeShadowGDI - Using Windows display depth of 32 bits per pixel winAllocateFBShadowGDI - Creating DIB with width: 1152 height: 864 depth: 32 winInitVisualsShadowGDI - Masks 00ff ff00 00ff BPRGB 8 d 24 bpp 32 null screen fn ReparentWindow null screen fn RestackWindow InitQueue - Calling pthread_mutex_init InitQueue - pthread_mutex_init returned InitQueue - Calling pthread_cond_init InitQueue - pthread_cond_init returned winInitMultiWindowWM - Hello winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Hello winInitMultiWindowWM - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shar ed memory support in the kernel (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "0409" (0409) (--) Using preset keyboard for "English (USA)" (409), type "4" (--) 3 mouse buttons found Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from li st!

Re: problem while starting xserver
Thank You! It took some tweaking to make our scripts work again in our configuration, but the tip worked exactly as described and NO MORE ERROR message. Thanks again, Randy n0 SPAM wrote: Instead of trying to make XWin.exe acknowledge the -slient-dup-error switch, have you considered eliminating the need for it to do so. If you need Cygwin everytime you use your PC, consider the following solution: Add C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat to the startup menu so that X is running upon logon. This assumes that you have declared an environmental variable 'cygwin' with the value "server". This also assumes that you ran the /usr/bin/cygserver-config script by typing " /usr/bin/cygserver-config" at the command prompt. Now, drag the xterm shortcut icon down (or rxvt shortcut icon) to the Quick Launch bar. With this step your done. Whenever you log on you have a terminal emulator, and simply clicking on the xterm icon on the Quick Launch toolbar will give you all the xterm windows you need without any more errors. -- 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/ -- 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/

Re: problem while starting xserver
XWin .exe doesn't seem to acknowledge the -slient-dup-error switch anymore.
