You can delete all the DLLs if you do not anything to work ;-)

Looks like I left my copy of Cygwin1.dll in usr/X11R6/bin?  If you see
a Cygwin1.dll in /usr/X11R6/bin you must delete it.  Are you using
B20.1 or Cygwin v 1.0?

The pre-alpha contains binaries from xfree86 but X-server in pre-alpha
were not functional.  I will be removing pre-alpha over the weekend.

If you need X-server you need either XVNC, xfddx or use XGGI from pre-alpha.

Use the cygwin1.dll which came with your Cygwin.
