try the following:
shutdown every cygwin instance (cygrunsrv services to..)
get a new setup.exe from cygwin.com and perform an update
reboot..

Well that didn''t help...

but i did manage to solve the missing DLL........

Can someone help me to fix the startx problem.....

I installed cygwin and the xfree86 packages, didn''t have any problems. Maybe you are missing a package? Might be something wacky in the XF86Config file too? Let me see what mine does.

hi

Here is my XF86Config file:

Thanks for reply.... untill now i haven''t found away to fix the startx problem......


Thanks

Sorry man, not sure what is up with that. I''m not really familiar with cygwin as I install it, the uninstall it. So I just installed it the other night for the first time in a while. Perhaps you can try to remove all the X packages and reinstall all of the X packages provided you have harddisk space for it.

My problem right now is that my xterm window prompt shows up fine(Stormtrooper@Darthbader~) but my rxvt window prompt has something unreadable (\[\033]0;\w\007 \033[32m\]\u@\h \[033[33m\w\033[0m\])
