Hello,

I've tried running Cygwin-Xfree on my Dell 5100 laptop, and cannot get 
it to work. After the startx command, there is some output (attached), 
and then the shell freezes.  Any thoughts about what might be going on? 
I have a wireless mouse & keyboard attached over by USB port. Could that 
be the problem?

Regards,
Andrew Zachary
