more startup "stalling"

["Geoff Soutter" <geoff at whitewolf dot com dot au>]

Hi there,

I downloaded and installed the latest cygwin (131) and cywin-xfree (mostly
dated 21/4) onto my Win NT 4 sp 6 box on Friday.

I'm getting the same symptoms as sungkim - the X Server starts with an empty
screen in a window and none of the clients start.

Here's what I get as the output of XWin.exe

_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
winDetectSupportedEngines () - Windows NT/2000
winDetectSupportedEngines () - DirectDraw installed
winDetectSupportedEngines () - Allowing PrimaryDD
winDetectSupportedEngines () - Returning, supported engines 0000000b
winSetEngine () - Using Shadow DirectDraw
winAdjustVideoModeShadowDD () - Command line depth: 32, using depth: 24
winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () - WindowClient width 1024 height 768
winInitVisualsShadowDD () - Masks: 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff bpRGB: 8
winInitVisualsShadowDD () - Returning
error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

I think I've figured out from seaching the list that the first and last
error messages can be ignored. I think it'd be a great idea to include which
"warning" messages are "expected" into the install docs so that we can avoid
new users having to browse the mail archives ...

I've got it installed on the D drive instead of C but I presume this makes
no difference...

Also, I noticed as did others I see that the install docs are out of date
regarding the full screen issue, the contents of startxwin.bat and the font
archive files. I found many font archive files rather than the single one
refered to.

Does anyone know what gives? I'm stuck...

Cheers

Geoff
