Re: Windows Vista

Not sure how to reply to a thread, but here are the details of what 
happens when I try to run
Cygwin/X.  First, I would like to comment that the following was suggested:

Be sure to set up $DISPLAY in your .bashrc:

   export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0

What is interesting, is in my installation I cannot find a .bashrc file, 
although I did find one in my
Windows XP installation.

I am told to look at the XWin.log file on my computer running Windows 
Vista when I get the
following fatal error:

"A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit
    Releast 6.8.99.901-4
   XWin was started with the following command llin

   /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin -multiwindow - clipboard -silent-dup-error

The XWin.log file is:

(WW) /tmp mounted int textmode
_XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be 
created.
(II) XF86Config is not supported
