Thach,

First of all, do not email me directly.  Send all inquiries about the 
Cygwin/XFree86 project to cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com, where I have cc'd 
this message.

Second, your terminology is exactly backwards.  Cygwin/XFree86 provides 
an X Server that makes your display device available to X Client 
programs.  You either want to display individual X Clients on your X 
Server, or you want to display a remote session on your X Server.

Both options are discussed in the User's Guide in far greater detail 
than I care to repeat again:
