XWin Direct Draw error

Hi,
I have managed to get the XGDI and DXWin32 servers to work, but XWin
throws an error in a dialogue box:
Direct Draw Init Failed
Error = 88760078(unknown error)
This is on Win95, cygwin1.1.2, DirectX7.0a. Is there some way to fix
this?
The XGDI and DXWin32 servers perform VERY slowly. I have a 233MHz PIII
and 128MB RAM. Is there a way to speed them up? Will the XWin server be
quicker when I get it running?
BTW: for those having a problem getting things to work; unpack the
bzip2s and then use winzip to install the tar file contents. When I used
'bzip2 ... | tar -xvf -' in bash, I ended up with X11 dirs which could
only be accessed by cygwin and not from DOS/Windows. This makes the font
files and rgb.txt file unreadable from the windows servers at least.
Maybe someone else could explain why this happens?
Nick.
