Hi,
Disclaimer: I've never worked with X11 on Cygwin.

A Unix server needing X? Surprising in itself ;-)
I assume then that X is running there.
now I'd like to work with cygwin to obtain acess
on UNIX machines;
I've no problem to start the emulator
By emulator, you mean the basic cygwin DLLs that translate Unix
calls to the Windows API? So command-line tools are working if
I understand correctly.
but can't start the graphical server (using
startx command; it
should be possible -depending of parametrisation- to launch kde,
gnome or xwindows);
... by xwindows (X-Window actually) you mean a simple window manager?
There's also the option of displaying single X11 applications (like
xterm).
actually, I'm on two possibility which can be
source of problem:
-X11 packages have not been correctly installed (maybe beause a
font is not correctly intalled?)
This wouldn't be surprising, I've had such troubles on Linux. But
then you'd get rather explicit error messages in your ~/.xsession-errors
(or sth like that).
-there is a conflict with VNC on a certain port
(this should be
because VNC has been installed BEFORE CygWin but I'm not sure).
They use different ports a priori, I'd be very surprised if this
were an issue.
When invoking startx, I receive folowing error
message in calling
shell:
Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 6.8.1.0-9
Contact: cygwin-xfree(a)cygwin.com
XWin was started with the following command line:
X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
Here's an interesting one already...
winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1
iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1
winCheckDisplayNumber - Cygwin/X is already running on display 0
Fatal server error:
InitOutput - Duplicate invocation on display number: 0. Exiting.
Sounds like there already is some X11 running there on screen 0?
Can you try starting it on Display :1 for instance?
winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in
progress
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
Not sure otherwise, as I've not used X on Cygwin...
