In the startxwin.bat you will find the command
start xwin -srceen -8 1206xxxxx
change it to lower resolution and screen 0
for example
startx xwin -screen 0 800x600x16

Hello,
I have installed Cygwin on MS Windows NT 4.0 and it works good. After
that I
have installed XFree. I have tied a lot of things during two days to
obtain
something, but the only result is a grey screen with a 'X' cross. The
mouse
doesn't work. Sometimes I have an xterm but without any way to access it
(I
have tried all the keyboard keys and all the mouse buttons !); I have
changed th path in the "startxwin.bat" file and that suppres the errors
but
still doesn't work.
I have a message about an xserver : "error opening security policy file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy"
If you could help ? I don't see anything more to do.
Excuse my poor english
Thanks
Yves HUGON-JEANNIN
