Windows ME Can't open display 127.0.0.1:0.0

[Stephen Mathezer]

I am posting this for a friend who is without email access at the moment.

This is with Cygwin + XFree downloaded today (1.3.1)

The short story is that the windows manager dies because it can't open the
display.  "Can't open display: 127.0.0.1:0.0"

We have tried this with DISPLAY set to 127.0.0.1:0.0 as well as the
ethernet IP address and the machine name.   127.0.0.1 is in the hosts file
with both localhost and `hostname` as associated names.

XWin.exe itself does start, we get the grey background with the little
black X mouse cursor.  The really goofy thing is that if we start XWin
with -ac then it is possible to run twm and xterm from a Solaris box with
-display cygwinbox:0.0 and that works fine.  Telnet localhost 6000 also
connects.  Any Xwindows application run locally fails with Can't open
display: 127.0.0.1:0.0.  /tmp does exist and there is a socket at
/tmp/.X11-unix/S0

Oh yeah, we also updated to DirectX 8a

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

-Steve
