On my main machine, I get the following output: $ xinit -- -displayfd 1 read display number ':0' from X server 0 On the VM it just hangs. Taskmanager shows xinit.exe waiting or hung with XWin.exe churning cycles and eating memory; about 4kB a tick. Also on the VM, if I run the following: $ xinit -- -displayfd Then the display will open. So it seems to be an issue with whatever code is dealing with the file descriptors. Matt D.
