Hi All,
I've been having this problem for a while now and I can't seem to figure
out how to solve it. I've checked the FAQ, mailing lists, and done web
searches, but unless I've missed something (quite possible!), the
solution to my problem isn't out there.
When I run "startxwin" in the bash window, I get the following error:
---
giving up
startxwin: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
startxwin: No such process (errno 3): Server error
---
The error log (XWin.0.log) is attached.
For some reason, X doesn't start or isn't working. (Same result when I
start from X from the start button.)
This has been an on-going problem for months now (been working on it
intermittantly), and after multiple updates, so I don't think it's a
package-version issue. Currently, I've installed every package in
cygwin, but that doesn't help.
I haven't had problems installing cygwin in the past on different
computers, so I wonder if it's a library problem (something) with this
computer (a thinkpad).
Anyways, I'll apologize in advance if the solution is out there already,
but after digging through the FAQ and mailing lists and trying various
things, I'm at wit's end.
Also, thanks in advance.
-Josh
