Greetings..

I remember that formerly i have to setup Xfree86 after Cygwin installation
is finished..Now i found that with the present version Cygwin, the dir
'cygwin/usr/X11R6' is already there, and 'x11R6/bin' does contains such
commands as: startx, xwin, startxwin.bat...

Do i have to install xfree86 agin to use the x-window? since i tried startx,
startxwin.bat, neither of them worked.  Thanks
