RE: startx????

Suhaib,


Using startxwin from a command prompt does work (I get
the xserver running), but I cannot run xterm or twm
from the CygWin/XFree86 distribution. I can only run
xterms that display on CygWin/Xfree86 from remote
machines and I thought the error message would be
helpful for you.

Is it possible that something is broken with accept? 

Kevin
