Is xdm actually running on the Redhat system?  On most Linux systems
it isn't started by default I don't think, I usually add it to the
rc.local file.
Chris thank u for the hint can u give me the line to add in rc.local 
and where it is

There is currently no binary built with this patch. If you can't wait for the next 
release and want to compile XWin yourself you should check the contributor's guide 
at http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/. 

But since this posting is titled "a beginners question" I think it is better for 
you to wait a few days for the next release.

I've nevertheless attached the patch for the curious.
