Nice, you compiled the libX11.dll with a broken Display and broken Xtrans
socket. This is not a fix. The problem
lies not with Cygwin.dll, but with you ThnkPad. On many think pads if you
have
ethernet card and modem installed. I had on a Compaq built in modem and
after installing one
of the 3COM pcmia card with modem+ethernet TCP was messed....
