Problem Starting X-Windows

[dean at work <dctsai dot work at gmail dot com>]

Hi,

I need some help starting X-Windows under Cygwin :( After successfully
download and install Cygwin, I tried to use a "startx" command to start
the X-Windows. The following start to scrolling in my DOS win32 prompt
(attached in the end). I can see a "X" icon showing up on my toolbars
indicating that X-server is probably working, but nothing else happened... 
The DOS win32 prompt just hung there... Now if I use a "startx&" command to
start X-Windows, my DOS win32 prompt will be freed up, but nothing much else
happened either. Can someone help me solve the puzzle? What is wrong? Is it my
display setting? Or is it a XWin configuration issue?

I am not a software engineer, and I dont know much about cygwin. I only
know enough to use it to log-on to a server, and occassionally complie
some c codes... can someone at least point me to the right direction?

Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate it.

-Dean
