Hello,
I installed Cygwin on an Windows-NT Machine. All shell based programms work fine.
But I have big problems with the X-Server:
I try:
$ ./Xwin.exe -screen 0 600x800x32
ddxProcessArgument () - screen - argc: 4 i: 1
_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 0000001b
winSetEngine () - Using Shadow DirectDraw
winAdjustVideoModeShadowDD () - Using Windows display depth of 32 bits per pixel
winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () - WindowClient width 600 height 800
winInitVisualsShadowDD () - Masks 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff BPRGB 8 d 32
winCreateDefColormap () - Deferring to fbCreateDefColormap ()
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
For about one second I see a window, but than the window disapears and
the message Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
is printed.
What can I do?
Where is the problem?
I installed all packages and exspecially a font directory exists.
I hope for Your help.
