Hi

Probably already known?
xterm not working (for me!) on latest cygwin release (1.3.11 cygwin1.dll) from local shell or .bat.
OK... stuff like xeyes work and nothing reported in logs!!
When I open xterm from a 'remote' machine (e.g. ssh shell.PuTTY) works OK.

Temporarily fixed by reverting cywin1.dll

(all latest XFree86 stuff installed  i.e. 4.2.0.7 xserv etc).

Colin
