Hi, After a recent Windows update, I am unable to start Cygwin's X server anymore. I tried updating to the latest Cygwin by running setup again, /usr/bin/rebaseall and rebooting. There are no obvious errors from the X server if I run /usr/bin/startxwin from a Cygwin console, but it seems to exit after 20 seconds or so:
