Failed to open input method

Hello:
I used the setup.exe program to install Cygwin v1.1.x
from the web on my laptop running window 98 recently. I also followed
the instruction on the web to download XFree86 4.0. I also downloaded
the xfig package.
I also have exceed running on my laptop. I believe
the exceed which I am using supports X11R6. I am not sure
if that exceed version supports X11R6.3 or X11R6.4. The document just
says it supports X11R6.
I lauched exceed and then launched the Cygwin shell.
I set DISPLAY to localhost:0.0. When I lauched xterm or
xfig, it is complaining:
"Failed to open input method."
and then it does a core dump and exits. When I lauch
xclock, it is ok and the clock is ticking.
I am not sure what is wrong, please advise.
Also,I could not find "xfree86-4.0-rgb.tar.bz2" file
in the download directory for XFree86 4.0. Please advise
on this as well.
