X server won't start in win95a

[Raymond Kwong <kwong at control dot toronto dot edu>]

I recently installed cygwin and cygwin-xfree 4.0.3. Everything works except
for the X server. If I run startxwin.bat, XWin window comes up but does not
change into the X root window. Xterm and vtwm then come up, stay for a while
and exit. XWin window stays black and blank and does not exit. I need to kill
it manually. There are no error messages for XWin.

I also tried running startx from the bash prompt. I created .xinitrc and
.xserverrc. When I run startx, the bash window changes to XWin, and after
a little while, an error message comes up saying "waiting for X server to
begin accepting  connections" followed by periods. If I kill it by Ctrl-C, 
an error message comes up saying "xinit, no such file or directory (errno 2): 
unexpected signal 2".

I am still running the ancient win95a, but I am under the impression that
the X server works for all versions of win9x. It is interesting to observe
that the win32-x11 server works (as does xvnc), but it is excruciatingly
slow. Can anyone point out where the problem lies?

Thanks!
