By default, XWin 1.17 no longer listens on TCP sockets, only on unix domain sockets. https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2015-06/msg00003.html However, "-nolisten local" disables unix domain sockets., So to use unix domain sockets: XWin -nolock -multiwindow & xterm -display :0.0 Or to keep using TCP sockets: XWin -nolock -nolisten local -listen tcp -multiwindow & xterm -display localhost:0.0 -Mike -- 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/
