From Bash shell use startx script and from DOS use startxwin.bat
If you install everything in /usr/X11R6 as mentioned in installation guide
at
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/xfree, you do not need a second copy of
cygwin1.dll.
Now what operating system are you using? If Win9x, you are out of luck,
sorry

Dear all (I'm a newbie)
I have installed XWin.exe (the file dated from October 1.) as described
on
the Cygwin-Xfree86 pages. When running StartXWin.bat, am I supposed to
do it
from the Cygwin BASH shell or should I do it by the MS-DOS prompt? (ie.
can
I put the startxwin.bat file on my desktop and simply click on it when
starting Xfree86?).
I had to install cygwin1.dll in the directory of the Xwin executables,
does
anybody know how to prevent this? I would prefer to have cygwin1.dll
only in
one place, if possible ...
When starting XWin I get the following error messages (started from an
MS-DOS prompt, I believe the error is different when running from the
cygwin
BASH shell) - I'd like someone to explain what this means:
Parameter value not in allowed range
_XSREVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
pwin -> width = 00000400
pwin -> height = 00000300
pwin -> paddedWidth = 00000800
pwin -> bitsPerPixel = 000000100
calling winAllocateFramebufferMemory
... then a second MS-DOS prompt opens (without an owner or anything) and
the
computer freezes.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Claus Futtrup
