Empty screen when opening X Terminal
Hi, I am relatively new to Cygwin, I've tried to search through the archive but couldn't quite find exactly what i'm looking for. I've installed Cygwin few months ago, then recently when I try to open XTerminal, I am getting a blank screen. I've tried opening it throughstartx, startwinx.bat, startwinx.sh, however, still nothing inside the Xterminal screen. Below is the Xwin.log. It appears the errors I'm getting should be only warnings and could be ignored according to the forum. Any suggestions or ideas? Do I need to set something else up? i've tried to uninstall and reinstall again, but same behaviour. Thanks in advance. - $ cat /tmp/XWin.log _XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created.

Re: Empty screen when opening X Terminal
I do not think anything major has changed except for regular automatic updates on my system and i do have anti-virus program running. However, I will try and see if I can trace back to what updates might have been made. In the meantime, I've attached the cygwincheck results for your viewing. Thank you very much for your help! =) On Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 5:26 PM, Larry Hall (Cygwin X) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sandra Sandra wrote: Hi, I am relatively new to Cygwin, I've tried to search through the archive but couldn't quite find exactly what i'm looking for.
