This X extension is not supported on Cygwin, hence the corresponding 
headers and client library are not provided as they would serve no purpose.

If the program you're trying to build absolutely requires the 
functionality of XFree86-VidModeExtension, then you're out of luck. 
Usually, however, this is or can be made to be optional, depending on 
the nature of the program.
