a) This has nothing to do with X, so cygwin-xfree is the wrong list for it. Redirecting to the correct list (<cygwin at cygwin dot com>). b) Read <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#AEN806> *fully* -- the answer to your question is there. If it's still not clear, see <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-03/msg01583.html>.
