I don't understand, there is no startxwin.exe file distributed with Cygwin/XFree86. You must be talking about startxwin.bat or startxwin.sh, but neither of those can be passed parameters. What are you talking about???? > Failed assertion, fds_on_hold != NULL, at line 643 of file > /cygnus/netrel/src/cygwin-1.3.10-1/winsup/cygwin/dtable.cc Check for a -kb parameter in the method you are using that does not produce the error. This is a known work-around and I suspect that you are inadvertantly using this parameter. Harold
