I tried putting a delay of a minute and stopped using nohup and both did
not seem to help. I even tried starting everything manually.
My startxwin.bat looks thus now:
set PATH=.;%PATH%;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin
set DISPLAY = 127.0.0.1:0
start XWin -screen 0 800x600x8 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0
sleep 60
start /B xhost +
start /B xterm -display :0
start /B twm -display :0
It does not seem to work still. I feel I must have a corrupt installation.
My other
install on a win2k desktop works just fine.
When I setup cygwin initially, do I have to choose "DOS" mode or
"Unix" mode for the files. If I am installing binaries only, it should not
matter, right?
