Interestingly, I run both a Cisco VPN and Zone Labs firewall.
What's really weird is that I've had XFree86 working just fine for
*years*
in exactly this environment, but I recently allowed ZoneAlarm to
"update" itself. I'm pretty sure that is what broke X; I installed
more recent versions of XFree86 and Cygwin/X to see if that helped,
but it didn't.
I did *once* get a couple of xterms up after disabling ZoneAlarm
and restarting X (on top of an already running instance) but I'm pretty
sure that was just a glitch :)
What should I be looking for?
Thanks!
