As a followup, I have found that, after some reinstallation, I can run startxwin.bat and pop an xterm and also serve remote connections (which is why I wanted cygwin/X in the first place). So my original problem appears to be with startx and probably relates to my/default .xinitrc file or something. startx always worked before... but now I have a workaround.
Sincerely,

Subject: Arrigo Benedetti - Cygwin-X hangs all at a sudden
I have the EXACT same problem with cygwin/X (see URL below, obtained via google search for "cygwin X11R6 server hangs").
Except I am running Windows 2000 Professional not XP. This is my employer's machine, so I am assuming a recent Microsoft "critical update" patch or something has now broken the cygwin X server.
Is there any new word/advice regarding this issue.
Also, I see that xfree86 seems to have been removed from setup.exe? Can you explain the relationship, if any, between xfree86 and X11? As I said, it seems now that only X11 is available under setup.exe and all the XFree86 packages I (think) I once had installed show up under ZZZRemovedPackages under setup.exe.
Thanks.
Sincerely
Todd Ryder
