Problems starting X server

[Harold Hunt]

Run the ``mount'' command from a Cygwin bash shell, you will see something
like:

Administrator@HUNTHARO ~
$ mount
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type system
(binmo
de)
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
c:\PalmDev on /PalmDev type system (textmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount)


Except, on your system, one of two things is happending:

1) The fonts are installed on drive X (where X is a wildcard) along with the
rest of Cygwin, while the mount for the fonts directory points to some other
drive.

2) The fonts are installed on drive X, while Cygwin is installed on drive Z,
and the mount for the fonts directory points to drive Z.


You are first going to have to figure out where the Cygwin/XFree86 fonts got
installed to.  Then you are going to need to move them to be in the correct
place with respect to the rest of Cygwin.  After that you might have to
unmount and remount the fonts directory mount to point to the correct
location.

I can't hold your hand on these, but perhaps someone else will be willing to
answer further questions about the details of doing this.
