Re: problem...please help...

[Firoz Vohra <firoz_vohra at yahoo dot com>]

Try using startxwin.sh or startxwin.sh  (as
recommended in the
Xfree86/Cygwin howto).
I have tried all the options available, it simply
doesn't work...i mean i do get new screen but no
terminal window in it...


As for the firewall, i have got win98se connected to
network in the office, but no firewall running on my
machine as such as far i know.

Any other solution to my problem would b
welcomed...and ya thanks both of you guys for ur
help...

Hi Firoz,

You should check that you do not have a firewall
running. I had the same problem and it was due to my
firewall: it was refusing the connection to the X
server.

Hi..

I am kinda new to cygwin and am trying to configure X
server on cygwin and i am getting following error
msg....

The output when running startx from bash prompt
startx

giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to
connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

I have looked on the default log file and it doesn't
list any problems...

here it goes...

the other ways of trying to run X ( via dos) result in
same thing....although both the methods do give me a
new X window, but there isn't anything in it.

I have looked the mailing archieve and it seems people
had problems with default font which isn't in my
case...

any help would b greatly appriciated...

thanking in advance...

Firoz.
