First time user. Have tried FAQ solutions and scoured mailing list
archives.
So far: Did initial install, re-installed xorg-x11-fnts and associated
packages from FAQ. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts and /misc are full of zipped
files. Having mkpasswd/mk group rebuilt problem, and Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'. Here are my command entries
Your group is currently "mkpasswd". This indicates that
the /etc/passwd (and possibly /etc/group) files should be rebuilt.
See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run
mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd
mkgroup -l [-d] > /etc/group
Note that the -d switch is necessary for domain users.
jag18@K41469 ~
$ mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
jag18@K41469 ~
$ mkgroup -l > /etc/group
jag18@K41469 ~
$exit
Re-opening Cygwin... (note it was already recognizing my unique username and
group)

$ umount /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
umount: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts: Permission denied
Attached is the command prompt input/output when I try to run x -multiwindow
and the associated error log.
I am on a multi-user PC, company server, without administrator priveledges.
