Hi All,

I'm trying to start the Xwindows system both under Cygwin using startx command or directly.
It does not work and return the message:

XWin was started with teh following command line:
X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard

_XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: listen() failed
_XSERVTransSocketINITCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
_XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: listen() failed
_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListener: failed to create listener for local

Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running

I checked there were not other Xserver running...
The system was working properly few day ago.
I also tried Xming and does not work either on this computer.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated

Massimo
