I've been a subscriber to this list for some time, but I believe this
is my first
post. I'm a college professor who uses Cygwin in a small PC lab. I
can start
an X server just fine (I'm an Administrator under Windows on these
machines)
but my students cannot. I've already read the FAQ. Here are the
specifics:
i) When my students attempt to run startxwin.bat, they get a dialog
box telling
them they have a fatal error and to look at Xwin.log (I have attached
an Xwin.log
from a machine where a student attempted to use startxwin.bat). I do
not get
this error when I run startxwin.bat; the X server comes up just fine.
ii) Here is the result of running ls -al /tmp /tmp/.X11-unix:
/tmp:

(lgriffith is my account and it is an Administrator under Windows.
blandry is the
account of our lab tech and it is not an administrator account.)
