Here's the info you asked for:
$ cygcheck -c XFree86-xserv
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-20 OK
My installation is a new install from last week using the Base packages, no
additions except XFree86, no config changes.
Cheers,
Martin

Martin,
It just occurred to me that you never (and you only posted one message
that I can see) stated what version of XFree86-xserv you had installed.
From a Cygwin bash shell, run the following command and send the
reported version to the mailing list:
cygcheck -c XFree86-xserv
