Suhaib, we're one step forward now.

XWin starts correctly, however, then breaks up with this:

 Direct Draw Init Failed
 Error = 88760078 (unknown error)

 Quits.

Hmmm this could be caused by DIRECTX 8 recently installed on my system.
Maybe I should downgrade to DX 7.0a and test if it works there.
It should, shouldn't it?

Other option would be to install John's DX cygwin port.
Hope that'll change things a little.
