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.

Sincerely,

Weilian
