I have the exact same problem - this after JUST upgrading my Xorg.
My X server was working PERFECTLY - for YEARS. Now just after newest version... :(
FYI: I'm running cygwin32 under XP.
HOWEVER -
Chris - I'd ask you check the date on your log file.
Because MY system is failing long before it touches the log!
I have an: Xwin.exe.stackdump:
$ cat /usr/bin/XWin.exe.stackdump
Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=7C917F82

Already checked - nothing newer than version 1.17.1-4; which is what is dumping for me.
Anyone know of a fix or workaround?
TIA - Bob

Subject: startxwin - xinit unable to connect to X server
After updating to the latest Cygwin distribution, I can no longer connect to X server. When I run startxwin (on a fresh Cygwin install), I get the following errors:
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error
The XWin.#.log looks okay, I think (see attached). I've set DISPLAY to :0.0.
Thanks.
