Oh! You didn't say anything about running the XFree86 server under Cygwin the first time. I don't know anything about Cygwin, but the very idea makes me queasy. I find it difficult to imagine anyone being happy with it. Hummingbird Exceed seems like a better choice. I've tried it a little, and I personally was happier with my cubicle crowded by a second keyboard, tube, and mouse, with Solaris, FreeBSD, or an old Tektronix X Terminal. -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html
