Running startx results in the usual screen and the 3 windows. However, when I type in my usual "emacs . &", I get this emacs: cannot connect to X server :0.0. Check the DISPLAY evironment variable or use '-d'. Also use the 'xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit connections from your machine. When I enter "xhost +", I get this xhost: unable to open display ":0.0" Here are my environment variables: !C:=C:\Documents and Settings\Marty !D:=D:\cygwin\bin ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users APPDATA=C:\Documents and Settings\Marty\Application Data COMMONPROGRAMFILES=C:\Program Files\Common Files COMPUTERNAME=COHEN-RZ22G COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe CVS_RSH=/bin/ssh DISPLAY=:0.0 HOME=/home/Marty HOMEDRIVE=C: HOMEPATH=\Documents and Settings\Marty HOSTNAME=Cohen-RZ22G LOGNAME=Marty LOGONSERVER=\\COHEN-RZ22G MAKE_MODE=unix MANPATH=:/usr/ssl/man NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=1 OS=Windows_NT PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/usr/X11R6/bin PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=x86 PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 7, GenuineIntel PROCESSOR_LEVEL=15 PROCESSOR_REVISION=0207 PROGRAMFILES=C:\Program Files PROMPT=$P$G PS1=\[\033]0;\w\007 \033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] $ PWD=/home/Marty SESSIONNAME=Console SHLVL=2 SYSTEMDRIVE=C: SYSTEMROOT=C:\WINDOWS TEMP=/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/Marty/LOCALS~1/Temp TERM=xterm TEXMF={/usr/share/lilypond/1.6.8,/usr/share/texmf} TMP=/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/Marty/LOCALS~1/Temp USER=Marty USERDOMAIN=COHEN-RZ22G USERNAME=Marty USERPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\Marty WINDIR=C:\WINDOWS WINDOWID=8388622 XAUTHORITY=/home/Marty/.Xauthority _=/usr/bin/env I am sure there is some simple configuration file I am not setting up, since do the same thing worked find on a Win 2000 machine. The only difference, aside from XP vs 2000, is that I had no problems with cygwin on C:, and the problems here on D:. Thanks Martin Cohen __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
