Re: windows XP : cygwin -X server not opening

[Alexander <ping2weltall at gmail dot com>]

To make a long story short:
My Questions are:
Whats causing the
null screen fn ReparentWindow
null screen fn RestackWindow

how can 
InitQueue - Calling pthread_mutex_init
InitQueue - pthread_mutex_init returned
InitQueue - Calling pthread_cond_init
InitQueue - pthread_cond_init returned
work without running cygserver?

and also

winInitMultiWindowWM - Calling pthread_mutex_lock ()
winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock ()

work when there is no cyserver running?
Cygserver is responsible to deliver the following services.

   *

     XSI IPC Message Queues.

   *

     XSI IPC Semaphores.

   *

     XSI IPC Shared Memory.

According to http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygserver.html
His XWin doesn't run thru winDetectSupportedEngines. It does something 
else which is based on Ques and Semaphores from the Log and would also 
like to use shared memory

MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support
> XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel

Step 1. 
/usr/bin/cygserver-config

Setp 2
set the CYGWIN environment variable to server
export CYGWIN=server

Step 3
Make sure cygserver is really running as XP Service
Control Panel/Performance and Maintenance/Services
CYGWIN cygserver

Start XWin again and if it not works try the firewall solution which somebody mentioned earlier.
