Subject: XWin no longer working for me with -nolisten tcp?
Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2017 22:20:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <58A77737.5070104@gmail.com> (raw)


I just recently formatted and reinstalled Windows 10 x64. I have not 
updated anything related to Cygwin and everything version-wise is just 
as it was.

I was previously starting X with the following:

$ xinit -- -multiplemonitors -multiwindow -clipboard -noprimary -dpi 96 
-nolisten tcp -displayfd 3 3>/c/home/.display

But now it fails to open the display:

I can get around this issue by using "-listen tcp" instead of "-nolisten 
tcp" but I don't understand why. This is especially ironic considering 
that this is the complete opposite workaround to what I had to use three 
years ago:
