Unfortunally for some reasons no, because 1. this patches relates to cygipc based shm support, which isn't a cygwin packages and should not be used in a cygwin package (the xfree packages). There were some threads relating to this topic in the past on cygwin/cygwin apps. At the time the shm support will be a stable part of the cygwin dll, xfree could be recompiled with shm support. 2. some patches are currently not part of the official xfree release yet (for example xft patches and ice delay patch, see release notes below) ------------------------------------------------------------ Release 1.3 libXft: - added qt3 symbols to Xftlib libICE: - removed 5 seconds delay in libICE if file attributes don't match Release 1.2 - renamed package to kde-x Xwin.exe: - added MIT-SHM extension ------------------------------------------------------------ Ralf
