Dear Sir/Madam
I need help to solve an error occurring when Cygwin/X is started on my
computer that prevents it from running. I have installed the latest version of
Cygwin/X (release 1.9.2.0) on my portable PC (HP Pavilion dv6 with AMD
Turion(tm) X2 dual-core mobile RM-74 2.2GHz and 4GB RAM) running windows vista
home premium. I am getting an error window saying that it has failed to
activate core devices.
That window also suggest to report the error to you. I send the log file to
help solve the problem.
Thank you for your help, I send my best regards     João Figueirinhas

This log file is from an older version of XWin, and doesn't contain the error
you mention.

Are you sure you are looking in the right place for XWin.0.log (it has been
moved to /var/log/xwin?
