I've installed Cygwin few months ago, then recently when I try to open XTerminal, I am getting a blank screen. I've tried opening it through startx, startwinx.bat, startwinx.sh, however, still nothing inside the Xterminal screen. Below is the Xwin.log. It appears the errors I'm getting should be only warnings and could be ignored according to the forum. Any suggestions or ideas? Do I need to set something else up? i've tried to uninstall and reinstall again, but same behaviour. Thanks in advance. ------------- $ cat /tmp/XWin.log _XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created.
