I'm currently facing the following Problem (which I've read questions about in this mailing list, but no answers): When I start XWin with startxwin.bat, startxwin.sh or with console always the same thing happens: For every xterm (which I started through the script) and for the Windowmanager (I tryed twm as well as icewm) a DOS Box opens. Then a window for XWin opens (I'll call it the white window from now on, but all that shows up in this one is a big white screen and on the upper left corner there seems to be the windowmanager with the xterms but its just way to small (about 80x100 pixel) to recognise it. When I close the xterm DOS boxes the black box on the upper left corner dissapears. The curser dissappers when I move it into the 'white window' but when I click into the left upper corner there seems to open a dialog window which starts to a appear the way I move the invisible mouse pointer over it. That's it for the problem description here's what my computer's like: I'm running Win98SE with DirectX Version 4.08.00.400 installed. I installed XFree with the Xinstall.sh in binary mode (I tryed to install it at first with the cygwin setup tool with the same result, but deinstalled that before reinstallation) The paths seem to be allright and nothing seems to be missing. I have a 100BaseT Network card, and standard (I guess) components else.
At the first startup the XWin.log looked like this: ddxProcessArgument () - Initializing default screens winInitializeDefaultScreens () - w 1280 h 1024 ddxProcessArgument () - screen - argc: 5 i: 1 _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root winDetectSupportedEngines () - Windows 95/98/Me winDetectSupportedEngines () - DirectDraw installed winDetectSupportedEngines () - DirectDraw4 installed winDetectSupportedEngines () - Returning, supported engines 00000017 winSetEngine () - Using Shadow DirectDraw NonLocking winAdjustVideoModeShadowDDNL () - Using Windows display depth of 16 bits per pixel winAdjustForAutoHide - Original WorkArea: 0 0 991 1280 winAdjustForAutoHide - Adjusted WorkArea: 0 0 991 1280 winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () - WindowClient w 1274 h 961 r 1274 l 0 b 961 t 0 winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () - Returning winAllocateFBShadowDDNL () - lPitch: 2548 winInitVisualsShadowDDNL () - Masks 0000f800 000007e0 0000001f BPRGB 6 d 8 winLayerCreate () - dwDepth 8 winScreenInit () - returning Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list!

Many thanks in advance! Jens Drozd (Sorry for this long mail, but I wanted to describe it the best I could)
