It was the latter. I have been unable to get a working xorg-server with both 7.0 and 7.1. The client side works wonderfully, and can be used either with the 6.8 Xwin or 6.9 Xming. I haven't yet fully updated Ports' X11 to 7.2 for lack of time, although I don't expect a change in this regard. Please search the archives of cygwin-apps and cygwin-xfree for details.
