I just uploaded XFree86 4.3.0 packages this morning. Some of the
mirrors have gotten the updated setup.ini and packages already, while
others have not.
In setup I have selected three mirrors:
archive.progeny.com
mirrors.rcn.net
FYI --- In further testing, archive.progeny.com is the mirror that has
not been updated yet. Selecting only archive.progeny.com gives me the
warning about setup.ini being older than when I last installed Cygwin.
Selecting only mirrors.rcn.net does not give such a warning and

Thanks - I get the same log output using 16 and 8 bit. I don't have

In this case I think you need to try to install the drivers directly
from your video card manufacturer on the non-working system and see if
that helps. On the other hand, if the manufacturer drivers are

See this message I wrote describing the problem:
The multiwindow manager does presently not respect the hints that apps like
xterm or emacs give as to valid window sizes. This can cause xterm to have
ugly leftover smudges on the right edge of the window and other minor
little annoyances.

If not, I would really like to just leave the current 4.2.0 fonts in
place since it will save most people from downloading

I don't know about him, but some of us do prefer to have a full window
manager to operate in. However, I'm sure there are many who like to
have a rootless X, and thus multiwin suits them fine. It would be sorta
nice, though,

Harold,
Would you be against having someone else maintain the freetype2
fontconfig packages external of XFree86 sources? There are a couple of
reasons for wanting this:

David,
The standard XFree86 packages do things differently. We are following
that standard.

Can you explain to me what fontconfig and freetype2 are, specifically?
Do they consist of a couple libraries and some executables?
How many files are involved in a package that contains them?
Are any of their libraries linked to from within the standard XFree86

In the 4.3.0-1 packages all dll's are named cygxxx-n.dll instead of

For now the only workaround is to copy each cygxxx-n.dll to
the corresponding libxxx.dll in /usr/X11R6/bin.
Harold, could you please issue a 4.3.0-2 version
