I haven't heard of VcXsrv before. I've just reached towards both projects hoping for the best, and it's time for me to do the same with Cygwin :-) How is Cygwin + X (the graphics stack in general) going ? Do you have some patches that you can thrown upstream :-P Or, it's just the windowsdri work that lives out-of-tree ?
