Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none I had a Windows 7 crash this afternoon and now keyboard initialization failed. this could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config. Cygwin/X server won't start. I've attached a couple files. Any idea how to correct this? Things have been OK xvfb xkb failed to compile keymap for weeks. I'm worried about these two items: [ 33.977] Could not load crashreporter dll [ 48.438] (EE) Error compiling keymap (server-0) My ~/.startxwinrc contains: xrdb ~/.Xresources sleep infinity I tried

If that fails, see if cygcheck /usr/bin/xkbcomp reports any missing DLLs. Something is interfering with the ability of the X server to invoke xkbcomp to compile the keymap. Possible causes: You have run Cygwin's setup program to do an update while some cygwin processes were running, and then clicked on the continue option in the "In-use files detected" dialog, and then tried to carry on using Cygwin without rebooting as advised by setup. Reboot. This is one of the symptoms of an application interfering with Cygwin's fork() emulation. See the main Cygwin FAQ question for a list of software which has b
