Since you keep mentioning hardware acceleration at every available opportunity (it's getting a bit tiresome now), I thought I should point out that the XWin_GL server was only ever released as an experimental package. It is therefore NOT a regression to have no hardware acceleration in the current release. Yaakov's announcement for the first X11R7 release specifically said there was no hardware acceleration yet, so you can't claim that you weren't warned. The experimental version was one of the last things released by the maintainer at the time, so no further work was done on it to bring it into the main branch. If acceleration matters so much to you, I'm sure Yaakov and Jon would welcome patches to enable it ;-) The source for the experimental version isn't available via setup.exe, and I haven't been able to locate the source elsewhere. Since the original package is still available (even if obsolete), I thought that the GPL insisted that the source was similarly available. I would like to take a diff of the two X11R6 server packages, with a view to merging the changes into the current, much changed, source, but without access to the source for both accelerated and unaccelerated, this is impossible. Does anyone know where one might find the source package for xorg-x11-xwin-gl-6.8.99.901-1? I've tried the Cygwin Time Machine, but it appears to be down.
