Xwin only in VGA mode (first time user)

[Harold Hunt]

Reini,

Your problem with video modes is simple:

24 bit depth screens have to be a multiple of 4 pixels wide, for alignment
purposes.  Cygwin/XFree86 must trim the specified screen width when you
specify a screen width greater than the largest client area allowed for a
window.  Cygwin/XFree86 does not currently ensure that 24 bit screens are a
multiple of 4 pixels wide after trimming the width.

Workaround: specify a screen width on the command line that is a multiple of
4 pixels wide and that will not result in automatic trimming.  (e.g. -screen
1024x768x24 on a 1280x1024x24 screen)

Let us know if that works,

Harold
