RE: XFree86/Cygwin under win4lin (fwd)

Chris,

Your problems have nothing to do with screen and/or display numbers.

The real problem is indicated by the following line:
> winFinishScreenInitFB () - Could not allocate frame buffer

That means that one of the Win32 API calls that XWin.exe makes to allocate a
GDI bitmap is failing... I need to add a few more failure messages to
XWin.exe to figure out what is going on.

You may still have problems with display and/or screen numbers after we get
the frame buffer allocated, but we'll cross one bridge at a time.

Harold

Hi, thanks for responding!  I tried Xwin.exe ":2" and got the following
error:

DuplicateHandle failed Win32 error 6DuplicateHandle failed Win32 error
6_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
winDetectSupportedEngines () - Windows 95/98/Me
winDetectSupportedEngines () - DirectDraw not installed
winSetEngine () - Using Shadow GDI DIB
winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () - WindowClient width 640 height 480
winFinishScreenInitFB () - Could not allocate frame buffer

Fatal server error:
Couldn't add screen 0

Any ideas on what could be wrong?  Thanks again for your time.

Regards,
Chris
