Hi, I'm struggling with getting Cygwin/X working on Windows XP Pro. Whenever I start it, I get the attached log file. I've Googled the errors listed at the bottom of the file and the results all point to this: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof I have tried those instructions multiple times to no avail. I still get the same error log. I have verified also that /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts exists and that it contains fonts in the appropriate directories. Specifically, ./misc contains 413 files! I have tried deleting the Cygnus Solutions registry keys, deleting all of the Cygwin software, and reinstalling. When that did not fix the problem, I tried adding a registry key to mount /usr/X11R6 and still no love. When I had this installed on a computer with Win2K Professional, it worked without a hitch.--I'm starting to think that there is some sort of genetic incompatibility with Cygwin/X and Windows XP. Anyway, I'm writing this esteemed list to ask if anyone else has encountered this problem and if you were able to resolve it. So far, all I've come up with on other mailing list archives point me back to the useless FAQ link above.
