RE: Xwin needs rgb

["Suhaib M. Siddiqi" <ssiddiqi at InspirePharm dot Com>]

That is a Cygwin compiled XWin.exe from Kara's code wich uses DirectX 6.1
libraries. It is very buggy
and will not work for you properly at the moment.

Try instead Xvfb.exe which uses Peter Busch Video drver.

How to install it was anouced in one of the mail. You can find a link from
main URL of
Cygwin/XFree
