Problem starting the X server

Problem starting the X server

[Joel Ledain]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 702 bytes --]

Hello good guys,

I just installed the Cygwin packages on top of a "Windows 7". The 
machine is Gateway NV55S28u. Install went fine. Rebooted the machine and 
tried the bash window, this works fine. Then tried to start the X 
server, and here I have a problem. I thing my problem is related to the 
keyboard binding/support/missing packages...

I tried to use the command setxkbmap, but without the X server running I 
am not getting anything beside "cannot open display".

For the Windows control panel -> devices -> keyboard, I see a "standard 
PS2 keyboard".  I have the xkeyboard-config package installed.

I am attaching the log of my troubles.

Thanks in advance for your great help.
Joel LEDAIN

You should check that xkeyboard-config and xkbcomp are installed 
correctly, that xkbcomp can be run, and that you don't have any software 
which is known to interfere with cygwin installed, as described at [1].

You might also check if the TEMP or TMP environment variables are set, 
and if so, contain the unix-style pathname of a directory which both 
exists and is writeable.

If that doesn't help, perhaps could you try the snapshot [2], which is 
built with additional debug logging enabled.
