RE: startxwin/XWin won't start properly

I just tried your procedure, but still get the same error messages from
startxwin.  Maybe there is some helpful information in the logfiles I
sent?

"Bradley, Mike" <mike_bradley@mentor.com> was heard to say:

My current procedure to start X is as follows:

1. do not set $DISPLAY anywhere. It is just empty.
2. open MinTTY
3. type something like "startxwin /usr/bin/emacs"

That's about it.

regards,
Markus
