Hi,
I am a new Cygwin (1.5.24-2) user and I am not able to start X.
You will find enclosed :
1) cygcheck.out = comments from cygcheck
2) startx.out comments from startx bug report
(generated with startx &> startx.out)
3) Xterm.out comments from Xterm bug report (generated with Xterm &> Xterm.out)
4) mount.out comments from mount bug report (generated with mount &> mount.out)
I tried to fix the "fixed fonts" bug by following this FAQ
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof but nothing
worked.
Let me know what I could do.
Remove 'cygwin1.dll' from 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\cygwin1.dll'.
Use 'startxwin.bat' or 'startxwin.sh', depending on whether you're
starting it from a DOS shell or bash.
Text mode mounts are not recommended. Text mode mounts for '/usr/bin' and
'/usr/lib' are asking for trouble.
