Hi,
Was there a resolution of this problem (X server won't start in win95a)?
The last post I could find was 14/6/01, and I have what looks like the exact
same problem with Windows ME.
I downloaded the latest sources for both Cygwin and XFree today, and startx
and startxserv.bat produce a window and cursor, but thats it.
Below is the output from startx:
$ startx
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
winDetectSupportedEngines () - Windows 95/98/Me
winDetectSupportedEngines () - DirectDraw installed

winInitVisualsShadowDDNL () - Returning
error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .
..
..
ad infinitum.....
I am no expert with X so this may be something stupid!
Regards
Roger
