Unable to run X apps (Tecplot or EnSight) with new Cygwin/X install

[Chris Borchert]

I can't run Tecplot or EnSight after a new install of Cygwin/X. First I installed only the xinit and xorg-server, then when back and installed everything under X11. xclock works fine. Below are the errors for the 2 apps. Attached is the cygcheck. I also notice that the X server dies from time to time and disappears from the system tray (Windows XP).

I have another PC with an older version that runs Tecplot and EnSight fine. At the time all that was downloaded was org-x11-base: Cygwin/X base.

Thanks,
Chris

Warning: EnSight has detected indirect OpenGL rendering.  This could be
caused by remote display using X11, by an incorrect setting of the DISPLAY
environment variable, or by a bad driver installation.
When running using indirect OpenGL, you will notice a performance degradation
and loss of some rendering features.  If you are running over a network we
strongly recommend that you install EnSight directly on the client machine.
EnSight is a client/server application, and you can run the EnSight server
on your remote machine.
