Larry suggested reading the release announcement:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2008-11/msg00000.html

It discusses this.  The fact that you still have an X11R6 directory
doesn't mean that the newest version was not installed.

And, if you really require further help, then please don't ignore the
given advice and read this page: http://cygwin.com/problems.html .
