RE: DirectX X-Server - a request for feedback

Hi,

I did some work on your code which I had not released yet.  It would be part
of the next
release which I would not release until cygwin/xfree directory is
reorganized
and the non-functional pre-alpha codes and binaries are removed. I had been
waiting
for replies from Sourcemaster@cygnus.com.

One of the major problem with your DirectX based X-server is that it runs in
full screen mode
completely occupying the desktop.  If I try to access the Win32 Desktop by
using
crtl+esc keys, or alt+tab keys to access the Win32 desktop so I can start
xterm, it would
crash.
Basically 2 things needs to be done with it.

1) fix the crash when crtl+esc and/or alt+esc keys pressed.

2) Write a good batch file for cmd which starts X-server then open
an xterm client so users can work in shell to start application.

Regards

Suhaib

BTW: I will correct your e-mail address in directx.c whenever the next code
is released.
