Thanks for the tip. Looking at the log file, it appears that this is the pertinent error message:
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
winDeinitClipboard - Noting shutdown in progress
winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress
Any ideas? I installed the default XFree86 packages.

Greg,
Look at /tmp/XWin.log.

Hi All,
I just installed cygwin on my work machine, but am unable to
start the X server. Each time I try (using startx), I receive
the following error:
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by perr) on X
server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
I searched the archives and saw that others were having the
same problem at the end of November/beginning of December, but
no solution was offered.
I downloaded the packages from a couple of different sources
this morning, but none of them produced different results.
Other than the few times that I've installed the software this
morning, cygwin had not been on this machine previously.
(It's a new box.)
Does anybody know how to resolve this?
Thanks,
Greg Jewell
