Re: problem of cygwin X fixed

Dear:

I just sent a mail to complain I can't start X in cygwin.

Now, I fount the solution in old mail-list.

Anybody experienced the same problem can refer to
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2006-10/msg00051.html

the key point is : You need to mount the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts with
binary mode.

but , I don't know why it worked well in another machine without the
mount for /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts .

The most likely explanation is that you have Cygwin mounted in text mode on your machine, but binary mode on the other machine. A separate mount of the X11 font directories should be unnecessary if you are using binary mode anyway.
