Hallo Harold, Thanks for the input. Maybe the solution to this minor itch will be enough incentive for me to start following the evolution of Xwin again: I'm stuck on a pre-setup version (nov.2002).
You wouldn't happen to have some guidelines floating around about how to move from a pre-setup to a setup version of Cygwin/XFree86? I'm sure I could handle it myself, I wouldn't like to count the hours I spent installing X on different OS's, but I don't like to reinvent the warm water. There are some other things I have to do while at work. If you don't, I'll try it at home first. Just yesterday I rediscovered my first Cygwin installation on one of my PC's, so this one could serve for a trial. I tried to read Ivan's explanation, but he lost me halfway. Monday morning or I am getting too old for this shit.
