Start X server crashes with dual monitors

["Krzysztof Syryczynski" <ksyrycz at gmail dot com>]

Hello,

Windows XP Pro + SP3, cygwin 1.5.25-11,
GeForce8600 GT (NVIDIA chipset), 2 DVI monitors 1680*1050 as dual span.

My goal is to use cygwin as a good xterm for remote login.
For this I need to click "Start X Server (needed for emacs and surf)"
and then click xterm itself.
Unfortunately 5 attempts to install cygwin on this computer has failed -
- installation itself is ok, but I can't use it.

Clicking icon "Start X Server (needed for emacs and surf)" produces error:

"A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit"
XWin was started with the following command line:
/usr/X11/bin/XWin - multiwindow -clipboard -silent -dup-error

Below is /tmp/XWin.log

(WW) /tmp mounted int textmode
_XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created.
(II) XF86Config is not supported

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

What puzzles me is that after installation, reboot and clicking icon
"Cygwin" on desktop there was only line written.
If I remember correctly, there should be long list of
after-installation activities in this window.

After every bad installation I have deleted directories C:/cygwin,
C:/cygwinDownloads and icons.
I haven't tried to delete services, register etc.
What should I do? I would prefer not to reinstall Windows.

Cheers,
Krzysztof
