startx hang (6.7.0.0-9)

[Niall Gormley]

Hi,

I've installed the latest cygwin (CYGWIN_NT-5.0 jewel 1.5.10(0.116/4/2))
and the 6.7.0.0-9 release of cygwin-xfree.

When running startx (or XWin directly)

The XWin system hangs halfway through startup @ the following line:

....
....
....
winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock ()
MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support
XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack
of shar
ed memory support in the kernel
(--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31
(--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00001809" (00001809)
(EE) Keyboardlayout "Irish" (00001809) is unknown
Rules = "xorg" Model = "pc101" Layout = "us" Variant = "(null)" Options =
"(null)"

I have installed this with no success on 2 computers now!!

I've tries mounting the tmp filesystem as a block device, and running XWin
directly.

Have you any ideas what to try next....

Thanks,
Niall
