In the absense of the attached output of "cygcheck -svr" (as requested in
the Cygwin problem report page at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>), a
WAG: is your /tmp textmode-mounted (see the output of "mount")? If so,
issue the following command:
mount -fsb "`cygpath -m /tmp`" /tmp
and try "startx" again.
