When I upgrade to 1.7 everything works fine except the graphics do not show in the Gaussview windows. The only e-mail from the archive I found related to Gaussview is:

You are almost certainly not using "experimental GLX acceleration", which is
the experimental XWin_GL.exe X server, as that hasn't been included in recent
Cygwin/X releases and never in Cygwin 1.7.
So that is probably not the cause of your problem.
Unless you can reproduce your GLX problem with a free application, your best
idea is to contact the supplier of the application you have a problem with for
support.
