David, What you mentioned on the cygwin mailing, the dll is the xorg dll.
Go ahead and install xorg now. It will be OK. Trust me.
I just installed cygwin and xorg this morning, and its been working ever 
since.
I installed cygwin first, and then xorg. I download both from the net, 
simply installing from the net.
I have ADSL, and a very fast connection (3.00 Mb per second, although 
the ftp site I use only sends at 300 Kb per second.)
The net is slow to me, because of the speed of my net connection.
Its not me. I have a connection that is made for playing games, though i 
use it to download GPL software and other software.
Another thing I did yesterday, was installing cygwin and xorg 
seperately, from a local directory, and that worked too.
Its installing both at the same time that causes problems.
Its not my software. Wednesday, I tried barebones with nothing but 
Office 2000. Same problems. I was not running Zone Alarm or Defender Pro 
Antispy. So the problem is setup.
The error I got yesterday was that it was opening too many files (setup) 
and not closing them.
Too many files open. I sent in my cygcheck.out. And reset the computer 
this morning.
Had to reload all my software (not much, just my DVD writer, PVR, and 
some other software)
I installed cygwin in two stages and started work on compiling GCC 3.4.3 
and Timidity.
I plan on comipiling a cygwin only X based timidity. I'll put it on my 
website.
I'm counting on the user to get his/her own soundfount because my upload 
limit at Yahoo is 5  megabytes, and the smallest soundfont I found is 8 mb.
There are plenty of soundfonts.
The X of timiidty will look great under Xorg.
Its going to use Xaw3d.
Yes, I found a use for the widgets. I've built the X version of Timidity 
before.
Won't take long to compile it.
