Hello, I'm having trouble getting XWin to run, I've copied the default /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to ~/.xinitrc but when I run xinit the window hangs and I have to kill the processes. When I look at the applications tab in task manager I see the Cygwin/X 0:0 running, then another one appears and they both change to not responding. In the processes tab I can see processes for xkbcomp.exe, xinit.exe and XWin.exe. I've also added C:\cygwin\bin;C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin to my path environment variable.
I'm running Norton 360 and have allowed XWin. I've also tried uninstalling Norton 360, same problem. I've tired a re-install of Cygwin and that doesn't work either. I have a dual monitor display, 1920 x 1200 and 1280 x 1024 extended desktop, so I tried disabling one of the monitors but no luck. I can't think of what else to try, I've run XWin before without any problems but that was a while ago. The machine I'm using is a fresh install of Win XP SP2 I've just rebuilt hence installing cygwin again. The machine is a Dell Dimension 8400 P4 3.4 GHz with 3GB RAM and a NVidia Geforce 6800 GT (lastest NVidia drivers) ..... I've also tried to run the default Start X - Server batch file, then in a cygwin shell setting DISPLAY to 127.0.0.1:0 or 127.0.0.1:0.0 and running xclock, X Server is in the system tray and the xclock process is running, but I don't get the clock on the screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks ...... :-) output for xinit of /tmp/XWin.log 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 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: "00000809" (00000809) (--) Using preset keyboard for "English (United Kingdom)" (809), type "4" Output of xinit Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.8.99.901-4 Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com XWin was started with the following command line: X :0 _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1 (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information winDetectSupportedEngines - Windows NT/2000/XP winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw installed winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 00000007 winSetEngine - Using Shadow DirectDraw NonLocking winAdjustVideoModeShadowDDNL - Using Windows display depth of 16 bits per pixel winFinishScreenInitFB - Masks: 0000f800 000007e0 0000001f 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: "00000809" (00000809) (--) Using preset keyboard for "English (United Kingdom)" (809), type "4" Rules = "xorg" Model = "pc105" Layout = "gb" Variant = "(null)" Options = "(null )" _________________________________________________________________ Play the Andrex Hello Softie Game & win great prizes http://www.thehellosoftiegame.co.uk -- 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/
