After updating to the latest Cygwin distribution, I can no longer connect to X server. When I run startxwin (on a fresh Cygwin install), I get the following errors:
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error
The XWin.#.log looks okay, I think (see attached). I've set DISPLAY to :0.0.
It seems that the X server is crashing while it's still starting up.
I'm afraid I can't reproduce this problem.
If possible, could you follow the "Generating a backtrace when the X
server is crashing at startup" instructions at [1], which might shed
some light on what is going wrong...
