no need to install xfree86

[Glenn A. Carlson]

I'm having a similar problem as Mr. Lee.  I recently installed latest 
cygwin to run under Win98SE, which seems to run fine.  Today, I installed 
xfree86 from setup on cygwin.com/xfree/ website.

When I run startx, I get the following:

-----------
$ startx

xinit:  No such file or directory (errno2):  no server "X" in PATH

Use the -- option

<snip>

giving up.
xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno3):  Server error.
------------

/usr/X11R6/bin is in my PATH.  I have a .initrc file in my home directory.

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

Greetings..

I remember that formerly i have to setup Xfree86 after Cygwin installation 
is finished..Now i found that with the present version Cygwin, the dir 
'cygwin/usr/X11R6' is already there, and 'x11R6/bin' does contains such 
commands as: startx, xwin, startxwin.bat...

Do i have to install xfree86 agin to use the x-window? since i tried 
startx, startxwin.bat, neither of them worked.  Thanks
