All configuration is done in the parameters, as you can see in the messages that
appear starting X:
(II) XF86Config is not supported
(II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information
Could you post the output of running startx? The part about
"winDetectSupportedEngines ..." or just below that should indicate what is the
problem.
