Hi I recently upgraded my Cygwin installation on my XP SP1 machine. I used setup to retrieve and then to completely reinstall but once I had finished I could no longer get my Mandrake 9.0 desktop to appear. It is still displayed if I use an older Cygwin installation on a laptop that I have (also XP SP1) but it will not work with the new installation.
The only line I change in the standard startwin.bat file is: - start XWin -screen 0 1024 768 -ac -from pluto -query moon This is the contents of the XWin.log file after a failed attempt: - winCreatePrimarySurfaceShadowDDNL - Creating primary surface winCreatePrimarySurfaceShadowDDNL - Created primary surface winCreatePrimarySurfaceShadowDDNL - Attached clipper to primary surface winAllocateFBShadowDDNL - lPitch: 4096 winFinishScreenInitFB - Masks: 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff winInitVisualsShadowDDNL - Masks 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff BPRGB 8 d 24 bpp 32 winCreateDefColormap - Deferring to fbCreateDefColormap () winScreenInit - returning (EE) No primary keyboard configured (==) Using compiletime defaults for keyboard Rules = "xfree86" Model = "pc101" Layout = "us" Variant = "(null)" Options = "(null)" Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/, removing from list!

Fatal server error: XDMCP fatal error: Session failed Session 40592002 failed for display :0: cannot open display Anybody got any answers? As I have already said, It worked before the upgrade and the upgrade was a *complete* install After the old C:\Cygwin directory had been removed. Thanks for any help Richard
