Harold - 

I did have the Win 95 resolution set to 8bpp, changing it to 16 allowed XWin
to start up, but it isn't working correctly yet.  All that shows up is a
checkered screen.  Here are the error messages that I get:

_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
.
.
.
error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing
from list!


I do not have an xserver or CID directories.

I also noticed that the /usr/X11R6 directory is actually labeled usr/X11r6.

Thanks for the help.

Mike

Mike,

> Exception: STATUS_INTEGER_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO at eip=004A66EC

It would be helpful if you could include the output of XWin prior to the
STATUS_INTEGER_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO.

However, this error is almost always the result of trying to run XWin on a
Windows machine with the display configured to display 8 bits per pixel.
Cygwin/XFree86 has no code to support 8 bits per pixel and it often crashes
with this message when a user starts XWin in 8 bits per pixel mode.

Thank you for your interest in the project, and please report if your
problem is solved,

Harold
