a fatal error has occured and cygwin/x will now exit.In the bash shel
it says waiting for X server to begn accepting connections a ten it
gives an error mesg saying givin up.
Xinit:no such file or directory <errno 2> : Unbleo connect to Xserver.
Xinit:No such process <errno 3>:server 3

Reading the log file might also be a good idea :-)

The server can't start, either because it's not being allowed to bind to port
6000, or because something else already has.
This has been asked a few times before and should probably be a FAQ but no one
seems to have come up with the definitive answer...
Try something like 'netstat -a -b -n | grep -A2 ":6000"' which should identify
any process which is already bound to the socket which the X server wants to use.
Alternatively, you need to check your firewall settings to see if the X server
process is not being allowed to bind to the socket. It's been suggested that
running the X server as administrator might also help...
