It seems as this is default from mount. man mount sais: "By default, mounts are in text mode" But I'd say the textmode is not the problem why I cannot start X? -- Regards, Marco -- 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/

Cannot Start X
Hello I installed Cygwin on my new machine yesterday and now I cannot start x as I am used to. A fatal error occurs. I tried to start using startxserver.bat which uses: XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error Here is the content of the XWin.log: (WW) /tmp mounted int textmode _XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created. (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information winAdjustVideoModeShadowGDI - Using Windows display depth of 32 bits per pixel winAllocateFBShadowGDI - Creating DIB with width: 3000 height: 1200 depth: 32 winInitVisualsShadowGDI - Masks 00ff ff00 00ff BPRGB 8 d 24 bpp 32 null screen fn ReparentWindow null screen fn RestackWindow InitQueue - Calling pthread_mutex_init InitQueue - pthread_mutex_init returned InitQueue - Calling pthread_cond_init InitQueue - pthread_cond_init returned winInitMultiWindowWM - Hello winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Hello winInitMultiWindowWM - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "0409" (0409) (--) Using preset keyboard for "English (USA)" (409), type "4" (--) 3 mouse buttons found Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list! Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' I tried to fix the problem according to http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof but this did not help. Also reinstalling all the fonts did not help. A mount shows the following: $ mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (textmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (textmode) C:\cygwin on / type user (textmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type user (textmode,noumount) h: on /cygdrive/h type user (textmode,noumount) k: on /cygdrive/k type user (textmode,noumount) o: on /cygdrive/o type user (textmode,noumount) s: on /cygdrive/s type user (textmode,noumount) t: on /cygdrive/t type user (textmode,noumount) u: on /cygdrive/u type user (textmode,noumount) x: on /cygdrive/x type user (textmode,noumount) There is no mount point for /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
