Cannot Start X


Hello

I installed Cygwin on my new machine yesterday and now I cannot start
x as I am used to. A fatal error occurs. I tried to start using
startxserver.bat which uses:

XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error

Here is the content of the XWin.log:

(WW) /tmp mounted int textmode
_XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created.
(II) XF86Config is not supported

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'


I tried to fix the problem according to
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof
but this did not help. Also reinstalling all the fonts did not help.

A mount shows the following:

$ mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (textmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (textmode)
C:\cygwin on / type user (textmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type user (textmode,noumount)
h: on /cygdrive/h type user (textmode,noumount)
k: on /cygdrive/k type user (textmode,noumount)
o: on /cygdrive/o type user (textmode,noumount)
s: on /cygdrive/s type user (textmode,noumount)
t: on /cygdrive/t type user (textmode,noumount)
u: on /cygdrive/u type user (textmode,noumount)
x: on /cygdrive/x type user (textmode,noumount)

There is no mount point for /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts....

Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Thanks a lot in advance!
