It complains about being unable to "read lock" the file -- okay, so it resides on a FAT32 drive, no big. Just add --nolock to my command line and move on. But it doesn't work. But it does. But doesn't. I AM able to run XWin from inside cygwin's bash prompt: $ xinit -- -nolock -multiwindow $ startxwin -- -nolock But I can NOT run Xwin from a Windows command prompt or a Start Menu shortcut: > /cygwin/bin/run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/xinit -- -nolock -multiwindow > /cygwin/bin/run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin -- -nolock In these cases I am given the read-lock error, and: "XWin was started with the following command line: X :0" In other words, I am unable to pass my command-line options to XWin, so I cannot work around the error. Did I overlook something? What do I do next? -- Stratadrake strata_ranger@hotmail.com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. -- 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/
