Hi, all.
I just updated my Cygwin installation and now I'm unable to run the X server
again. Since the message is not explanatory and I'm not a really experienced
user I decided to post the XWin.0.log in this mail:
-------------------------------
Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 1.7.6.0 (10706000)
Build Date: 2010-03-22
Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
XWin was started with the following command line:
/usr/bin/XWin :0
ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens
winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1024 h 768
winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning
Fatal server error:
Can't read lock file /tmp/.X0-lock
-------------------------------
The content of my '.xinitrc' is:
-------------------------------
# Window Maker default X session startup script
PATH="$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin"
# If you login from xdm, uncomment this to make error messages appear
# in the console window.
#
# tail -f /home/Alessandro/.xsession-errors > /dev/console &
xsetroot -solid gray &
xclock -g 50x50-0+0 -bw 0 &
xload -g 50x50-50+0 -bw 0 &
xterm -g 80x40+0+0 &
twm
-------------------------------
When I try to start the X server using the default 'startx' command it crashes
again and the log file is almost the same:
-------------------------------

I hope that someone could help with this.
Best regards,
Alessandro Antonello
