X server fails to start on Vista
I downloaded Cygwin-X per the instructions in http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup-cygwin-x-installing.html When selecting "Cygwin-X -> XWin Server" in the start menu, X does not start and I get the following /var/log/XWin.0.log ... /usr/bin/XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1280 h 1024 winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning _XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress -- My Vista account is of type "Administrator". -- Another post mentioned ownership of "/tmp/.X11-unix/".

And make sure the icon isn't hidden (I set Vista to always show the X Windows icon).

Also be sure to start the X server with the "Run as Administrator" option. Ditto for the Cygwin bash shell.

Re: X server fails to start on Vista
"Run as Administrator" did not make a difference. The "X" icon does not appear hidden or otherwise, no terminal pops up (as it does on my XP machine), and no process shows in the task manager. The bash shell works fine. The /var/log/XWin.0.log file appears as noted earlier. Kim > Also be sure to start the X server with the "Run as Administrator" > option.

Re: X server fails to start on Vista
It worked with /usr/bin/XWin :1 The "X" icon appeared and the "xterm" application worked as expected. "netstat -p" showed nothing before or after XWin started. It also showed nothing with a live SSH connection started from my Cygwin bash shell. After starting XWin with "XWin :1" the process appeared as expected in the Windows task manager.
