I installed the package, and XFree86 starts. I believe I had selected the
default install options. It appears that XFree86-xserv is not installed by
default.
Best results starting XFree86 are obtained from running startxwin.bat.
Running startx directly from within Cygwin results in three terminal
sessions at startup. Closing first terminal window terminates XFree86
session. On running startxwin.bat, only one terminal session starts on
startup and closing that session does not terminate XFree86.
(Mr. Lee, it appears that XFree86-fnts 75 dpi, misc, and util fonts was
already installed.)
Thanks for the help.

Hmmm... Sounds to me like you missed the XFree86-xserv package. Go back
into Setup and select that package for install. Should fix your problem.

I'm having a similar problem as Mr. Lee. I recently installed latest
cygwin to run under Win98SE, which seems to run fine. Today, I installed
xfree86 from setup on cygwin.com/xfree/ website.
When I run startx, I get the following:
-----------
$ startx
xinit: No such file or directory (errno2): no server "X" in PATH
Use the -- option
<snip>
giving up.
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno3): Server error.

/usr/X11R6/bin is in my PATH. I have a .initrc file in my home directory.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Greetings..
I remember that formerly i have to setup Xfree86 after Cygwin
installation is finished..Now i found that with the present version
Cygwin, the dir 'cygwin/usr/X11R6' is already there, and 'x11R6/bin' does
contains such commands as: startx, xwin, startxwin.bat...
Do i have to install xfree86 agin to use the x-window? since i tried
startx, startxwin.bat, neither of them worked. Thanks
