fatal error when starting X-Server

fatal error when starting X-Server

[David Rockel]

Hi,

I installed Cygwin and the XWin-Server on my PC. When trying to start the XWin Server I received the following message:


Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 1.8.0.0 (10800000)
Build Date: 2010-04-02

Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
XWin was started with the following command line:

X :0 -multiwindow 

ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens
winInitializeDefaultScreens - primary monitor w 1280 h 800
winInitializeDefaultScreens - native DPI x 96 y 96
winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning

Fatal server error:
Can't read lock file /tmp/.X0-lock


I would be very pleased if you can provide a solution for this problem. Thank you very much!

Regards 

Dave

Hello,

I would start checking if /tmp has 1777 perms.
