Error starting X

[Carolyn Longfoot]

Hi,

sorry to bother but my fresh Cygwin installation fails to start X, and I'm 
at a complete loss as to why. This is straight after a reboot, so why there 
would be a server already running is a complete mystery to me. How do I go 
about troubleshooting this?

Cheers,
Caro
