Problem with installing the X environment

Deal all,
After installing the cygwin several times, when I tryy to open the X by xinit, I got again and again this error:
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/*/, removing from list!
and the X window is closed.
Although in the FAQ it says that in case it happens and the X is closed immediately, I have to do some "umount". But when I do that, it says: no such file or directory.
When I run it with xwin, I got the window, but if I try to run "xterm &" or anything else, I got "exit 53" immediately afterwards.
Can someone of you help me to activate the X?
BTW, my computer is notebook Dell Latitude D430.
Thank you very much,
David Garber.
