from the cygwin setup.exe or manually?

I've several warning like "abnormal exit: exit code=128" in setup.log,
the first one is :

2010/07/06 20:26:45 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
/etc/postinstall/xorg-server.sh
2010/07/06 20:27:07 abnormal exit: exit code=128


I reinstall X11 package now and tell you what's new before.

Thank's,

Philippe.
