Hi,
I installed Xfree86 4.2.1 onto my windows box at work which has Cygwin up and
running normally. Every time I try to start X, it crashes. These are the
commands I tried, followed by the respective error message or a description of
what happens.
$ X , and $xwin
-in these cases, a window called Cygwin/Xfree86 -0:0 opens, which looks
like a linux environment. However, the mouse buttons do nothing and no terminals
open, i.e. this window is useless.
$xinit
- the same window opens, and immediately closes. The bash terminal
reads: waiting for X server to shut down
$startx
- the same window opens, but this time there are drop down menus on
mouse clicks, and a clock. However, the window quickly closes and the following
message appears in the cygwin bash terminal:
cat: //.Xauthority: No such file or directory
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server
shutdown).
waiting for X server to shut down XIO: fatal IO error
113 (Connection
on X server ":0.0"
after 58 requests (49 known processed) with 0
events remaining.
I've tried to generate the .Xauthority file with $xauth generage 0:0 .
xauth: creating new authority file /.Xauthority
xauth: (argv):1: unable to open display "0:0".
What is going on here? I appreciate any help.
Luke
