Re: X refuses to start

It should be -listen tcp, you can see it picking up -auth as the
argument for that option.

 This was working, but now doesn't, with the following shown in the log
 file:

 
 Welcome to the XWin X Server
 Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
 Release: 1.17.1.0
 OS: CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW sothis 1.7.34(0.285/5/3) 2015-02-04 12:12 i686
 OS: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 [Windows NT 6.1 build 7601] (WoW64)
 Package: version 1.17.1-2 built 2015-02-23

 XWin was started with the following command line:

 /usr/bin/XWin :0 -listen -auth /home/william/.serverauth.4460

 ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens
 winInitializeScreenDefaults - primary monitor w 1366 h 768

 -a #   default pointer acceleration (factor)
 -acdisable access control restrictions
 -audit int set audit trail level

 ...

 [  4635.990] (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log
 file.

 

 I can't make sense out of what this is telling me about why X failed
 to start.


 General remark/gripe:

 I realize the recent overhaul to xinit must have helped some people,
 but for me it has been an utter disaster.  X seems to be much more
 fragile now and it's been impossible to work with the ease of before
 the changes.

Since xorg-server-1.17.0-1 and xinit-1.3.4-1, the syntax has changed and 
you should now use '-listen tcp'.
