Hello folks,

I have had multiple problems trying to install X11 on Cygwin.   I am 
running Cygwin on Windows 11 on my Asus VivoBook.

The initial X11 installation showed Error 3 for the sub-installation of 
xinit.

Looking through previous answers, I found a suggestion to run the following:

  CYGWINFORALL=-A /bin/sh -vx /etc/postinstall/xinit.sh   (**)

This failed with the following error:

    mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start
    Menu/Programs/Cygwin-X/User .xsession script.lnk" failed; does the
    target directory exist?

Later, after quite a bit of rigamarole involving "takeown" and "icacls", 
I was able to run (**) without any error message.

So then I tried startxwin, with the following error:

    winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Fatal error 1 on xcb connection


Here is the complete output of startxwin:

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.  If I seem clueless, 
that's pretty much how I feel right now -- sorry!
