You are bound to have more problems, because
what you are doing is going to give you all kind of
problems.
xfree86-40-xwin.tar.bz2 <------------ it is a Cygwin compiled Xserver
based upon XFree86. Must be installed in d:\cygwin\usr\X11R6 with
at least xfree86-4.0-DLLs.tar.bz2 and fonts.
X-servers-v-1.0.tar.bz2 <--------- MSVC 6.0 compiled X-server, has
absoultely nothing
to do with Cygwin1.dll and does not need a Cygwin installation. It must be
installed in d:\usr directory

Cannot mix and match Cygwin stuff with MSVC. They use different
paths for searching fonts... xwin needs gzip compressed fonts,
x-servers-v-1.0 needs uncompressed fonts processed for MSVC.
rgb.txt in X-server-v.10 has CRLF while in xwin it does.
Did I write on Cygwin/XFree URL mix them and a cocktail X-server
would work better meraclously?
