All members of Cygwin-XFree mailing list,
I tried the following commands but X server shutdown with error.
~# cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ./.xinitrc
~# vi .xinitrc
(deleted all lines under the comment # start some nice programs and added 'openbox &')
~# startx
waiting for X server to shut down BaseDisplay::BaseDisplay: connection to X server failed.
What does this error mean? I've searched on http://www.google.com which shows compilation error involved with BaseDisplay.o or something unrelated to my case. Any gleamy light shed upon this sort of uncertainty?
