Fwd: Cygwin X is not starting in Vista 64 bit Home edition.
Dear all, I regularly use Cygwin on windows for running my Linux based codes/applications on Windows. I have Windows XP(32 bit) on my laptop. There all the applications related to Cygwin work fine. But on my Windows 64bit Vista Home Premium edition, the Cygwin X Windows application doesn't start up. Can anybody suggest what should be done to make cygwin/X work in Vista 64 bit also?

Many thanks in advance, Daniel _ XWin was started with the following command line: X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard First things first: the above causes X to use the native MS window manager instead of a separate window manager like twm. You seem to indicate that you liked the separate root window -- for that, remove the -multiwindow option. Also, if you want to emulate a 3-button mouse, try the -emulate3buttons option. FWIW, you can pass extra arguments to the X server via startx. For example, to get the above, use startx :0 -- -emulate3buttons -clipboard. [snip] _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root This might be a problem if that socket is not readable/writable by you. Otherwise you can ignore it. [snip] winClipboardProc - Call to select () failed: -1. Bailing. This could indicate the presence of an application from the http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA (see http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda for a list).
