The FAQ listing for section 6.5. Fatal server error: could not open default
font 'fixed'
does not work. For one thing, the suggested remedy does NOT change the
mounting of the /usr directory.

A more direct fix would be to update the Xinstall.sh to do the following:

1. Check mount output for either / or /usr mounted as textmode.

2. Unmount the offending partition:
    umount /usr
    umount /
3. Remount root or usr :
    mount --binary c:/cygwin           /
    mount --binary c:/cygwin/usr     /usr
