I have been running cygwin with xorg 6.7.0 and it has been flawless.
Tonight I updated cygwin with all the latest packages. The update
displayed error: "mfw.exe Unable to Locate DLL". But at the end it
said it completed successfully. So I tried startxwin.bat... failed
could not find XWin. So I manually untared xorg-x11-xwin-6.8.1.0-5. I
tried again this time it could not find cygX11-6.dll so I untarred
xorg-x11-bin-dlls-6.8.1.0-1.tar. Still reports the same error. At this
point I moved C:\cygwin to C:\cygwin.broke and tried to a fresh
install. I still got the same error "could not find cygX11-6.dll".
Is the current install of X broken ? How can I get my X working again,
trying to uninstall xorg 6.8 seems almost impossible using the setup
program.
-Thanks
