Your Xfree86 port looks fine, unfortunately does not have 24-bit support (led to a core dump), but runs even under Win98. Great! I installed all the xfree86-4.0.3-*.tar.bz2 files on top of the recent cygwin version 1.1.8. I just downloaded everything from ftp.franken.de, one of your main mirrors. But, I (and X) miss the /etc/X11/... stuff, part of which is linked to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. X runs nevertheless, but some setting is missing, like xinitrc, xserverrc, SecurityPolicy, ... Therefore, functionality (like starting some window manager) is missing. BTW: etc-x11-vtwm.tar.bz2 contains some of the missing parts, but does not work at all: the .xinitrc starts the unknown xfwm instead of there contained vtwm, which in turn is misconfigured. I don't think this is intended, so consider this a bug report. Best regards and thank you very much for the great cygwin/xfree stuff, Hans ___________________________ Hans Schlenker http://www.first.gmd.de/~hs
