startup problems

["Graham Barber" <graham_barber at placerdome dot com>]

I am running NT4 on a Dell Optiplex GXa and have cygwin...b20 installed and have
been trying to get the
XFree86  XServer running

Initially  startxwin.bat complained about missing symbols in cygwin1.dll and
missing vtwm command
I changed vtwm to twm, then I traced through other messages from lilypond about
cygwin1.dll and finally
downloaded cygwin 1.1.8-2
I adjusted the PATH to ensure the capture of the updated dll

Here is the DOS window output
D:\GNU\cygwin-b20\usr\X11R6\bin>startxwin.bat

... screen blanks and a new window opens and displays the following
(if I mouse-click quickly while that new window is up an "acquire keyboard"
error occurs which
keeps the new window up so that I can copy-paste the output hereunder. That new
window
becomes much larger as though the raster settings are incorrect then goes back
to normal size


Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'

... screen blanks and original window  displays the following

D:\GNU\cygwin-b20\usr\X11R6\bin>XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by pe
er) on X server "127.0.0.1:0.0"
      after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server "127.0.0.1:0.0"
      after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

After that the Windows Office toolbar which is usually on the screen right edge,
moves
in to the left in approx proportion to the contraction of the enlarged new
window mentioned
above

Here is the adjusted startxwin.bat
