Re: Problem with starting X server (alternate solution)

["Mariusz Janczak" <M dot Janczak at adbglobal dot com>]

I followed your steps I found that this solution doesn't work for me. I also 
tried to reinstall whole cygwin packege and also without effect. The only 
one solution that works for me is install previous version of X package.
