You might try adding '-nowgl' to the XWin options. You may find that updating your graphics driver, if possible, resolves this. (Since this seems to happen with some graphics drivers, there is code in the X server which attempts to catch crashes in WGL initialization and turn WGL off, but that doesn't seem to be getting control in this case) -- 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
