Direct Draw Init Failed

I would like to ask you some things regards the X-server XWin.exe.

I've installed it in /usr/X11R6/ as it is the default unpacking directory of
the following used (by me) files.

xfree86-4.0-DLLs.tar.bz2
xfree86-4.0-Xterm.tar.bz2
xfree86-4.0-Xwin.tar.bz2
xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2
xfree86-4.0-fonts.tar.bz2
xfree86-4.0-twm.tar.bz2

When running, from / (mounted on c:\unix)
bash$ startxwin.bat

I get:
   scheduling timer: Invalid argument
   _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
   pwin->width = 00000500
   pwin->height = 00000400
   pwin->paddedWidth = 00000a00
   pwin->bitsPerPixel = 00000010
   calling winAllocateFramebufferMemory

And then a popup window appears and shows the message:

   Direct Draw Init Failed
   Error = 88760078(unknown error)

I have Windows 95 OSR2 and DirectX 7.0a

Could you help me please ?
Thank you very much.
