Another X crash on startup

- Reply-to: cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com
A colleague installed the full Cygwin installation onto a laptop on
Monday. He can't start X because of what looks like the
"Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'" mentioned at
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof
However, we've checked that the fonts are installed; mount shows that
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts is used, and the directory contains about 400
files in the misc subdirectory.
X won't start. Any other suggestions? This is on a new Dell laptop,
running at about 1600x1200, and XP.
$ startx
