When I upgrade to 1.7 everything works fine except the graphics do not show in the Gaussview windows.  The only e-mail from the archive I found related to Gaussview is:

You are almost certainly not using "experimental GLX acceleration", which is 
the experimental XWin_GL.exe X server, as that hasn't been included in recent 
Cygwin/X releases and never in Cygwin 1.7.

So that is probably not the cause of your problem.

Unless you can reproduce your GLX problem with a free application, your best 
idea is to contact the supplier of the application you have a problem with for 
support.
