Today I decided to update my cygwin (probably had not done it in about 3
months) but now it just crashes on me when I try to start X. I did check
out mailing list archives and google but no dice. I can't seem to get it
to work again.
I am trying to run this on WinXP SP2,on an IBM ThinkPad. Again I want to
make it clear that it was working this morning. I did not change any
network/firewall settings. I do have a firewall up but it was working fine
before the update.
Here is the message I am getting:
