Well, I installed an experimental/beta version of xemacs:

21.5.23-1

and things work properly again. I can run xemacs with the DISPLAY variable either set (get an X window) or unset (get a window's window). I have not altered any other settings.

A recent xemacs upgrade does not work properly on my Cygwin system.

I was running xemacs version 21.4.19-1 with no problem.  Newer versions
(21.4.19-2, 21.4.19-3, and 21.4.20-2) fail. The error reads "X
server not responding: <DISPLAY VARIABLE VALUE>."

I reinstalled 21.4.19-1, things worked fine again. But I would like to
figure out what the issue is for the newer versions.

I can unset my DISPLAY variable and xemacs will run in a Windows
window. If my DISPLAY variable is set - I get "X server not
responding: <....>" Everything else runs properly in X with DISPLAY
set- xterm, xclock, just not xemacs. Any thoughts?


No, mine works fine.  I'm using the latest of everything, on XP with 768M of
memory.

With my DISPLAY set to 192.168.0.102:0.0, I get an X version of Xemacs.  With
it unset, I get the windows one.

They both work fine.

You aren't starting xemacs from a script that might be changing something in
your environment, are you?

Dave
