Thanks. That helped. I ran cygcheck and looked at the output. Yes,
there is another cygwin1.dll in system32 folder. It doesn't show up if
I use Windows Search (even with "search hidden files and folders" option
checked). Even if I go to system32 folder and enable showing of hidden
files, it doesn't show up. In cmd.exe, if I do 'dir' it shows up. But,
if I delete it from cmd.exe, it says file not there. But, I was able to
delete it from rxvt using rm.
I see another similar (hidden) file called cygz.dll in sys32 folder.
Shall I delete this too?
The only warning I saw in cygcheck output is for multiple cygwin1.dlls.
The X is not running for other reasons. I'm going to uninstall and
re-install and see if I can run X.
