You really didn't want to do that. Test44 is waaaay older than the 4.2.0
release. Please revert to the previous executable.
The 4.2.0 server is producing the same behavior, but the error messages are
redirected to /tmp/XWin.log. Have a look there and you will see the same
error message of "could not open default font 'fixed'".
The answer for that error is at:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#q-error-font-eof
However, you'll probably be better off to delete /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 and
reinstall using Cygwin's setup.exe. Just go into setup.exe, expand the
XFree86 category and choose the XFree86-base package.
