["John A. Turner" <john dot turner at pobox dot com>]

been watching the progress, decided to give it a shot

0. environment is Win2kSP1, cygwin 1.1.4(0.26/3/2) 2000-08-03,
   TNT2 video card

1. downloaded all the xfree86-4.0-* tar files (most dated 7/19/2000)
   from ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries/

2. untarred into top-level cygwin tree, so everything went into
   /usr/X11R6

3. added /usr/X11R6/bin and /usr/X11R6/lib to path - everything is
   seen by which in bash

4. set DISPLAY to 127.0.0.1:0.0

ok, so that would seem to be all the setup that's needed... is there
anything I'm missing?

at a bash prompt, I try XWin -screen 8 1024x768x16 (lifted from
startxwin.bat) - screen flickers a few times, then dies - this is
left in the window:

/usr/X11R6/bin$ XWin -screen 8 1024x768x16

error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

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

is there a path I need to set for fonts?  they are there, in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts

this msg from the archives:

  http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2000-q2/msg00189.html

mentions something similar, but says it was fixed, and that msg was well prior
to the date on these tarballs

can anyone help?

thanks in advance,

-John Turner
