so for the slightly thick and windows bound(sometimes) how dya get
cygwin running X? ive got a cygwin shell with vim and stuff but when I
execute startx, i get a full screen transparent window that lasts less
than a second :(
ibm@Anni ~
$ startx
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
any ideas?
thanks
