Help with startxwin.bat (I did read the FAQ)
Hi, I suddenly began getting the error message: A fatal error has occured and Cygwin/X will now exit. Please open /tmp/XWin.log for more information. The trailing part of /tmp/XWin.log mentions the following: Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' Looks like this problem has already been mentioned in the following FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof Unfortunately, following the procedure outlined there didn't seem to help. I tried: 1. $ mount C:\Programs\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\Programs\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\Programs\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /c type system (binmode) 2. $ umount /usr/share/fonts/ umount: /usr/share/fonts/: No such file or directory 2. Reinstalling all the font-* packages by running setup.exe. Just to be on the safe side, I re-installed everything in the X11 category which was marked as Keep. Even after following all these steps, startxwin.bat still reports the same error. One strange thing I noticed is that the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 directory does not contain a fonts/ subdirectory. Is that normal? If not, how do I recreate it? Elsewhere, I read that anti-virus softwares, firewall etc end up messing things. So I disabled Symantec Client Firewall and Norton Anti Virus. Still the same story. Is there anything else I can try?

I did upgrade to the latest xorg-server. (It is now at 1.5.3-2). In fact, as I mentioned previously, I tried reinstalling all packages under the X11 category. However, this doesn't seem to fix things. I have a suspicion that my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 directory is somehow corrupted. An ls there shows fewer directories that on another machine where this seems to work. On my (problem) machine: $ ls /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ app-defaults lbxproxy rstart xdmxkb xsm fsproxymngr twm xinit xserver Strangely, no fonts/ directory! On another machine which I use where X seems to be working fine, I see a whole bunch of other directories...

The current version doesn't have/use /usr/X11R6 It uses just plain /usr for X stuff now, along with a modular X installation. See the anouncements. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
