Hmm.. not sure code is really needed. You can see the output from startxwin by running it from a terminal, or capture it by changing the shortcut which runs it to something like the following (perhaps we should do that by default) C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c '/usr/bin/startxwin.exe >>/var/log/xwin/startxwin.log 2>&1' -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
