For us, for many months now, X11 hasn't worked after any fresh Cygwin
install, due to the "missing font "fixed" problem) - see
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof
In fact, our install process now runs setup, runs various commands as
per the faq entry above, then re-runs setup and requires the user to
re-install the X fonts. After that X will work.
On top of that, there were changes to -multiwindow and other parameters.
We now default to starting X in a way that boils down to this:
xinit -- -rootless -clipboard -logfile /tmp/XWin.log.$USER
The .$USER is important if multiple people may use the machine - the
default choice of /tmp/XWin.log will make X fail to start because a
later user won't have write permissions on /tmp/XWin.log.
Anyway, try the above, and check out the contents of the log file to
help work out what's going wrong.
