I'm having problems with getting XFree86 (in a freshly downloaded current
install of Cygwin) running on a system with XP Pro SP1 as the operating
system.
From all appearances, XWin dies immediately after starting and then
everything else called from startxwin.sh dies as well. Since I'm very new
to Cygwin and have only used *nix-family GUIs lightly in the last 9 years,
I have no clue about how to start checking the cause of my problems.
Could someone give me some tips on starting diagnostics, or at least doing
verbose logging of the X server startup process?
Just in case, here's the exact set of error messages I get and details on
my system and customizations. Any help appreciated!
