help: startx failed

[Harold L Hunt II]

Please read the following instructions on how to startup Cygwin/XFree86:

http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html#using-starting

I recommend that you try startxwin.bat before you start working with startx.

Send in the contents of /tmp/XWin.log if you continue to have problems.
