... startx won't start X, after fresh install of latest cygwin on
fresh XP laptop. Still bashing head on wall.
As previously suggested on this thread, I tried downgrading to
6.8.1/6.8.2 mix.
Same problem. I even tried switching screen res to 1024x768 (since the
only other person in the googleverse who's reporting the same error also
has 1280x800 screen). Same problem.
Error message below: (more info, see here:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2006-08/msg00099.html)
Is it possible that this silly MAfee firewall is messing things up? XWin
and xinit have been given permission to 'use the internet' many oaths
ago, so no warnings are popping up now, but it still doesn't work.
