Not sure how to reply to a thread, but here are the details of what
happens when I try to run
Cygwin/X. First, I would like to comment that the following was suggested:
Be sure to set up $DISPLAY in your .bashrc:
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
What is interesting, is in my installation I cannot find a .bashrc file,
although I did find one in my
Windows XP installation.
I am told to look at the XWin.log file on my computer running Windows
Vista when I get the
following fatal error:
"A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit
Releast 6.8.99.901-4
XWin was started with the following command llin
/usr/X11R6/bin/XWin -multiwindow - clipboard -silent-dup-error
The XWin.log file is:
(WW) /tmp mounted int textmode
_XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be
created.
(II) XF86Config is not supported
