I'm running Cygwin/X server Version 1.17.1. For the last couple of
weeks, it's always starting on DISPLAY 3.0:
DISPLAY=:3.0
I can't figure out how to get it back to 0.0. There must be some
piece of state somewhere that I can't find.
Thanks - Jim

You have stale lock files /tmp/.X0-lock etc. Unfortunately startx(|win) is not as smart as it should be about detecting that the process owning the lock file is no longer running. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

That was indeed the problem. I didn't find them because my brain was stuck looking for them in /var/log/... Wouldn't it be nice if Cygwin cleaned up the /tmp directory each time the computer is re-booted? I don't know how that would work in real life, however. - Jim -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <jjreisert@alum.mit.edu>, http://www.ad1c.us -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
