"Legacy" Installation of XFree86/Cygwin vs. Setup.exe XFree86 Packages

[Randall R Schulz]

Robert,

No, I really didn't think so, but I was hoping that if someone saw the 
symptoms and the specific graphics hardware I was using they might have a 
specific recommendation or some diagnostic information for me.

And I assume that the _apparent_ loss of a CPU was not actually that, but 
rather the result of some stray reference clobbering a kernel data 
structure. Judging from the later symptoms, there was damage to some data 
structures that got written to disk, too.
