RE: xfree and 1.1.8

[Suhaib Siddiqi <ssiddiqi at inspirepharm dot com>]

As far as I know this is the first time I am hearing from a user 
that XF86 does not work on Cygwin 1.1.8.  On my machine, it worked 
on machine with Cygwin 1.1.8. 

I had been waiting for Xfree86.org to officially release XFree86 4.0.3
after that I could release the new binaries.

If it works from command line with Cygwin 1.1.8 then can you explain 
how do you launch it other way?
