You must be reading some really ancient materials. There was a very early version of Cygwin/XFree86 (about two or three years ago) that was a hack on Xvfb. However, since then Cygwin/XFree86 has been completely rewritten and now we directly use the ``fb'' and ``shadow'' layers that are used by many of the XFree86 drivers for graphics cards. But, none of that is really important... Harold
