Hi,
I have just installed cygwin-1.5.19, and cannot open an xterm.
I start the XWin server and the task manager shows that XWin.exe is
running. When I type "xterm" on the command line nothing happens - no
window appears and no error message is reported. The return status from
the xterm command in 53.
XWin is started as follows:
$ export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
$ /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh
The output is shown below, and also the log file /tmp/XWin.log
When I run xterm, nothing happens:
$ xterm
$ echo $?
53
DISPLAY needs to be set for the client programs, not for the X server. Try:
$ export DISPLAY=:0
$ xterm
