Cygwin/xfree86 & Win2000 does not start!

[Piero Cosi <cosi at csrf dot pd dot cnr dot it>]

I found your work incredibly helpful for my work!
Thanks!....Really!

I have some problem with xfree86! I hope you can help me!
I am not a Unix expert!
I am using a PentiumIII machine with Windows 2000

I installed Cygwin (the latest one) in C:\Cygwin and it seems OK!
I got the whole xc4-binaries files. I bunzipped and untarred them
into C:\Cygwin and I tried startxwin both with doubleclick from Explorer
and within bash shell of Cygwin!

In both cases:

I got an error like ....
Impossible to find vtvm ...
Infact, I saw I do not have this executable!

in Xwin (Dos black) window I saw this message:
owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
(I run everything by my administrative login)

and after few  feedback lines and a full grey (or ligth green) screen
everything stops going back to Windows 2000!


At the end in the dos cmd window I see these messages

C:\Cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin>start XWin -screen 0 1024x768x16 -whitepixel
255 -blackpixel 0

C:\Cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin>start /B xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg
yellow -bg black -e bash

C:\Cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin>start /B rxvt -fn "Lucidia Console-12"

C:\Cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin>start /B vtwm
XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server
"127.0.0.1:0.0"
     after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.


Could you help me. I do not what to do!
Ciaoooo
Piero
