RE: startx trouble...

[Chuck dot Irvine at mail dot sprint dot com]

I had this problem when trying things on win98, where, I later found
out, things aren't working yet. Only NT and 2000 are working at this
point, though there is work underway to remedy this. See the faq for
more details.

Ok, I'm new to the cygwnin tools, but I'm impressed and happy to find 
them...  I am trying to start the xwindows server.  First I kept getting

direct draw didn't initialize...  I got passed that, and now I get the 
grey startup screen and my computer hangs...  The mouse works, but
nothing 
else happens, I have to unplug my laptop to reset the computer, 
ctrl-alt-delete and ctrl-alt-backspace don't work...  Any help would be 
apreciated...  I hope to be able to help with the development after I
get 
things working.
