I had this problem when trying things on win98, where, I later found
out, things aren't working yet. Only NT and 2000 are working at this
point, though there is work underway to remedy this. See the faq for
more details.

Ok, I'm new to the cygwnin tools, but I'm impressed and happy to find
them... I am trying to start the xwindows server. First I kept getting
direct draw didn't initialize... I got passed that, and now I get the
grey startup screen and my computer hangs... The mouse works, but
nothing
else happens, I have to unplug my laptop to reset the computer,
ctrl-alt-delete and ctrl-alt-backspace don't work... Any help would be
apreciated... I hope to be able to help with the development after I
get
things working.
