Re: I donwload all X11 packages, it still not can not startx

[rmpbklyn <rmaniac at yahoo dot com>]

1) to isolate where the error comes from,  manually start xwin try the
following :

a)  open the bash shell, if not sure check the properties of the shortcut
that on desktop or cygwin folder in start menu
   
execute the bash.exe  from windows explorer as with any program exe file



b) type ' xwin'   at the shell only (will look like a dos or unix shell
window)
   a blank window will appear and an icon in the taskbar on the right will
appear, (nothing can be done in this window)

c)  now start the window manager (this will give the min, max and close
buttons to programs) and a desktop the screen that was opened in step b

      use twm or icewm 

or 

2) simply disable any window manager used, then restart
  find the  '.xinitrc' file   may be in /etc/x11/xinit/xinitrc directory,
this can be edited in windows by using notepad even
   comment out using #  look for  twm or icewm , which is typically the last
line of the file


3) try  different window manager and see which works best
