thanks for pointing me to /tmp/XWin.log
This shows, that the font directory is not properly installed.
When I try to reinstall, the installer hangs when trying to create the sub drirectories. ( As a matter of fact I cannot create /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts in bash,, gives 'mkdir: cannot create directory 'fonts': No such file or directory' )
I have no idea what has happened, maybe something wrong with xp?
Thanks
Christoph

Run 'mount' in a Cygwin bash shell. You should see something that
includes a line like the following:
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type
system (binmode)
If you see "type system" in that line, then run the following in your
Cygwin bash shell:
umount /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
Else, run the following
umount -u /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
The problem is that your mount-point for your fonts directory points to
a dead or invalid directory and needs to be removed.
You know need to re-run Cygwin's setup.exe and make sure that the
XFree86-fenc and XFree86-fnts packages are installed or re-installed.

Hi,
last week I installed ( first time installation ) Cygwin on a winows xp professional sp1.
I had XWin.exe ( xserv 4.3.0-28 ) running with AIX and Linux Clients w/o modifying an config files, but I experienced similar ALT-Gr problems as described in the postings regarding xserv 4.3.0-29.
So I updated to 4.3.0-29 today.
Now XWin ( called from bash ) does not start any more. I see the main window for a short period of time.
No error message appears. Are there any logfiles
Best regards
