XWin 1.10.3-12 wont start

[nyc4bos at aol dot com]

Hi,

I reinstalled xinit and xorg-server (Cygwin) because it wont start.

I posted this on the Cygwin Ports newsgroup but think this is a
general problem that I could received debugging information/steps from
the Xfree group.

When I start up X via:

# startx -- :0 -clipboard -nolock&

The window comes up blank and then closed (exits).

I see on the terminal:

#
xinit: XFree86_VT property unexpectedly has 0 items instead of 1
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 53: xclock: command not found/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
: line 52: twm: command not found

xinit: connection to X server lost

waiting for X server to shut down

[1]+  Done                    startx -- :0 -clipboard -nolock


I expected to see 3 xterms.  (I know about xclock and twm not starting
because I did not and do not want to install these programs.)

How does one debug this?
