All help gratefully received! I haven't found this problem through searches, apologies if I've been searching for the wrong terms.
In my first update in a few months I picked up the major upgrade to the X server. XWin -version now reports 1.5.3.0. After having the problems below I did a full reinstall of Cygwin, with no success. My symptoms look similar to tunneling via `ssh -X`, but it happens with both `ssh -Y`, and when I do `xhost +` and display directly to <server>:0 without ssh tunneling. My client machine is Solaris. Everything worked fine before the update. I'm running the installed startxwin.bat startup (with xterm REM'd out). I can display xclock fine. xterm appears up, but as soon as I hit a key it crashes with: >>>> $ xterm xterm: warning, error event received: X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 136 (XKEYBOARD) Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (XkbSetNamedIndicator) Serial number of failed request: 117 Current serial number in output stream: 130 <<<< During which, my /var/log/XWin.0.log gets 8 lines of: >>>> GetWindowProp - pWin or name was NULL <<<< I can't run GNU Emacs at all (self-built Emacs 22.3.1 on the client Solaris machine, but I also tried 21.3.1 installed from sunfreeware.com, same result): >>>> $ emacs X protocol error: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) on protocol request 20 Fatal error (6)Abort (core dumped) <<<< Nothing in /var/win/Xwin.0.log on that failure though. I /can/ run the local, Cygwin-installed GNU Emacs - kicked it off via the X server system-tray menu. Any suggestions gratefully received, including what other info I can supply or what diagnostics can I run? Since it seems nobody else is screaming about this suggests it's something about my setup, but I can't think what. On the plus side, I've now fixed my Emacs configuration to work better in the terminal :).
