Re: X connection to 127.0. ...explicit kill...
Hello, I know I'm not the only one with this prob...here is what i did to get it up. I'm not sure how much of this is overkill though... (for some reason, just reinstalling xfree didn't fix it) 1. delete cygwin and all shortcuts 2. run regedit, delete all cygwin entries 3. reinstall cygwin 4. install xfree: FOR THE TERMCAP AND LINK PROMPS, JUST SAY NO, i.e default enter at prompt 5. goto /usr/X11R6/bin 6. sh startxwin.sh This got it working, I haven't checked other ways of launching yet...

I ran into something like this setting up my home machine, to which I don't have access right now. It ended up being an issue with host / DISPLAY configuration; check out your /etc/hosts and make sure the entries make sense.

X connection to 127.0. ...explicit kill...
Hi, I'm assuming this is the list for config problems. I dl the prog today from: http://archive.progeny.com/cygwin/xfree/binaries/4.2.0/ When I run it, the x window pops up for maybe a second and then vanishes and the startxwin shell says: X connection to 127.0.0.1:0 broken (explicit kill or server shudown) If I try to run XWin.exe, it says that it cant find cygwin1.dll. TIA The log file says: ddxProcessArgument () - Initializing default screens winInitializeDefaultScreens () - w 800 h 600 ddxProcessArgument () - screen - argc: 5 i: 1 __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
