I have installed cygwin on several windows XP 32bit machines.? To do the install I used the defaults and then installed all of X11 and
Networks.? After a little while when opening a new windows, I get the
error:
The application 'gedit' lost its connection to the display localhost:11.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.
It doesn't matter what I do next, nothing simple makes the x-server come back alive.?
This
is happening on multiple machines.? For some reasons I have other
machines that never have a problem.? These machines may have older
installations.
Any advice is appreciated.
Howard
