can not start 'startx' from the prompt and missing files

["kiwhan chung" <kiwhan at hotmail dot com>]

Howdy,

I am posting two questions thinking the two may be related....  I appreciate 
your help.  Kiwhan

Question 1:
I am trying to find out why command 'startx' at the prompt gives me an error 
message and won't start the xwindow.  Cygwin1.dll is installed only in 
C:\cygwin\bin.  Below is the error message on the screen.

> $ startx
>

> Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin is in your path and
> that "X" is a program or a link to the right type of server
> for your display.  Possible server names include:

>
> giving up.
> xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to connect to X server
> xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

Question 2:

My .xinitrc file in my home directory says this.  My question is... 
shouldn't I have the .Xresources and .Xmodmap files in the 
/usr/X11R6/X11/xinit directory also?  I checked and I don't have that 
directory at all.

> usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
