Problem on windows 2000 machine


I took the step to day of loading X on my work machine. Cygwin is
already running happily, CVS w/SSH working properly etc etc.

I get the following on the console after running startx (from within
bash)
===
bash-2.04$ startx

_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
pwin->width = 00000500
pwin->height = 00000400
pwin->paddedWidth = 00000a00
pwin->bitsPerPixel = 00000010
calling winAllocateFramebufferMemory
XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
      after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
====

There is an accompanying GUI error (error.png).

The graphics card is a Intel810 w/4Mb memory. (Running at 1024/768
16-bit.)
Windows 2000 pro.

Sequence of events:
untarred into /
added /usr/X11R6 to my cgywin path.
started new bash
ran startx - got error couldn't find ./xinit
edit startx - changed last line from ./xinit .... to xinit ....

Any suggestions?
