This is most likely due to a major rewrite of the xinit package which contains all start-up scripts. If you downgrade the xinit package from 1.3.4-1 to 1.3.2-1 does your setup work again? Here is how you downgrade: 1. Start the Cygwin installer 2. Select the appropriate mirror and directories 3. In the package selection screen search for 'xinit' 4. Select the one from the 'X11' category and click on the version until it cycles to 1.3.2-1 in stead of 1.3.4-1. 5. Click Next and install If this does solve your problem you may want to read my request to the maintainers: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2014-12/msg00060.html Laurens -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
