problems installing Cygwin/x‏‏

[t s]

I can't get cygwin/x to run. I downloaded the latest revision. Here is what happened.
 
 
 
$ Xwin :0 -multiwindow -clipboard -wgl

Welcome to the XWin X Server

Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project

Release: 1.15.1.0

OS: CYGWIN_NT-6.1 SONYZ 1.7.32(0.274/5/3) 2014-08-13 23:06 x86_64

OS: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 [Windows NT 6.1 build 7601] (Win64)

XWin was started with the following command line:

Xwin :0 -multiwindow -clipboard -wgl

_XSERVTransmkdir: Mode of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to 1777

_XSERVTransmkdir: this may cause subsequent errors

(EE) Fatal server error:

(EE) Can't read lock file /tmp/.X0-lock

(EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.

This is covered in the FAQ [1].

[1] http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-cant-read-lock-file

Start the server with the -nolock option.

This option is turned on automatically when you have a FAT filesystem, 
but it seems this doesn't happen for exFAT filesystems.

Thanks for reporting this problem.
