Hello, I installed Cygwin & Cygwin/X as an administrator; it is a local account on a Windows XP machine. It runs fine when I'm logged on as administrator. I doesn't work when I run startxwin.bat as a power user (a domain user accuont). Cygwin was installed for all users, and everything else seems to work for all uasers..I get the following error:
A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit. Please open /tmp/XWin.log for more information. Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.8.2.0-4 Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com XWin was started with the following comand-line: /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error I noticed that /tmp was owned by the administrator, so I made it read-write-executable by all. This didn't help. I've included /tmp/XWin.log below. Thanks for any suggestions.
