To: cygwin@cygwin.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 X-SW-Source: 2016-09/txt/msg00150.txt.bz2 Hi, After a recent Windows update, I am unable to start Cygwin's X server anymore. I tried updating to the latest Cygwin by running setup again, /usr/bin/rebaseall and rebooting. There are no obvious errors from the X server if I run /usr/bin/startxwin from a Cygwin console, but it seems to exit after 20 seconds or so: $ date; /usr/bin/startxwin; date Fri, Sep 09, 2016 12:00:58 PM Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 1.18.4.0 OS: CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW 3QGH462 2.6.0(0.304/5/3) 2016-08-31 14:27 i686 OS: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 [Windows NT 6.1 build 7601] (WoW64) Package: version 1.18.4-1 built 2016-07-22 XWin was started with the following command line: /usr/bin/XWin :0 -multiwindow -auth /home/jhoke/.serverauth.5404 (II) xorg.conf is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information LoadPreferences: /home/jhoke/.XWinrc not found LoadPreferences: Loading /etc/X11/system.XWinrc LoadPreferences: Done parsing the configuration file... winDetectSupportedEngines - RemoteSession: no winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed, allowing ShadowDDNL winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 00000005 xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused xinit: server error Fri, Sep 09, 2016 12:01:19 PM Any ideas about what how to fix or troubleshoot this?
