Mark, I finally looked at the source code and realized that I had already set the code to use the Shadow GDI engine in windowed mode, which means that your problem should not be happening and that you shouldn't have to pass -fullscreen -depth 8 to the XWin.exe.
However, the problem was only corrected in the Server Test Series and in Cygwin/XFree86 4.2.0. The problem was probably still present in Cygwin/XFree86 4.1.0 and I know it was present in all earlier versions. Which version of Cygwin/XFree86 are you running? Harold
