Hello, I just got a new Windows 10 PC at work and I can't seem to get X to start. Here is the log file: $ cat /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 1.17.4.0 OS: CYGWIN_NT-10.0-WOW STI237 2.3.1(0.291/5/3) 2015-11-14 12:42 i686 OS: Windows 10 [Windows NT 10.0 build 10240] (WoW64) Package: version 1.17.4-1 built 2015-10-29
