Re: startx failure, on fresh install
You may want to use startxwin.sh or startxwin.bat, since there seems to be no evidence of anybody trying those methods yet. My experience is that I have tried startx and startxwin.sh, and they both don't work; the startxwin.bat file is the only one that worked for me. Try it out, and see what happens. Thank you for the response. startxwin.sh result seems identical to startx. startxwin.bat actually starts the server, but it's not viable: (1) run startxwin.bat in win command shell. X appears in sys tray. (2) "env DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 xclock & " in a cygwin shell: no window opens. (3) "env DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 xlogo &" in a cygwin shell: X window opens, but if you breathe on it, an error occurs (if you hit 'return' in the cygwin shell, or if you just alt-tab to the X window and back). Error message is Xlib: sequence lost (0x1 > 0x32) in reply type 0x0! X Error of failed request: 0 Major opcode of failed request: 0 () Serial number of failed request: 0 Current serial number in output stream: 50 I can also run 'XWin -multiwindow' in a cygwin shell, and get a similarly flaky X session. And the next time you report a problem, you might want to read: Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Well I did, actually; the full error dump is in the previous report that I linked to, and there's even more info (from another user with an identical problem) in a report linked to from there. I didn't think it was useful to replicate the full dump, I had no new information. And, re putting my full address in: no sweat, I get so much spam already at this address it's doubtful it will make any difference. -- 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/

startx failure, on fresh install
startx won't start X, after fresh install of latest cygwin on fresh XP laptop See previous report here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2006-08/msg00099.html (no responses to that). I've found one other user with exactly the same problem, but have had no response in this forum or in the cybertechhelp forum where the other user posted, so I'm posting again. Currently, my options seem to be: (1) go buy another laptop, maybe cygwin-x will work on that one. I kind of like this one, though, everything else works on it. (2) attempt to 'downgrade' from 6.8.99 to 6.8.1 / 6.8.2 (there's a mix of these available on the mirrors); I've seen one report by a user who had success fixing a similar issue by this means. Is there anythng I should know before I try this? It seems that setup.exe will refuse to change all the X components at once, in particular the xorg-x11-base needs to be changed separately. Do I change it first, or last? My previous experience with this sort of thing makes me concerned that I'll irrevocably mess up my install if I do this wrong. -- 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/
