Hi,
First, I've been running cygwin for a couple years on my XP machine with
no problems. I have startxwin.bat startup with windows. Then a
couple weeks ago, my xterm window stops opening (though X is still
starting fine). I can open xterm from the command line fine.
So I start looking into the startxwin.bat file. By editing the run
xterm command I can get it to open up an xterm....it turns out that one
of the switches is causing a problem...-sb.
So I keep the same default run xterm command, as long as I take out the
sb switch. If I put that switch in, then the xterm window won't ever
appear. Again let me say that one day after a couple years it just
stopped working. I made no changes that I remember but obviously
something must have changed. I tried reinstalling cygwin with no luck.
Any suggestions? Much appreciated,
matt
