Re: Recent upgrade of xfree-xserv: missing DLLs

[Harold L Hunt II <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Fergus,

The xserv updates have nothing to do with your problems.

However, the move from 4.2.0 to 4.3.0 does have something to do with 
your problems.

There is a new package, XFree86-lib-compat-4.3.0-1, that contains the 
old DLLs for 4.2.0 X Clients.  Please run Cygwin's setup again and 
manually select this new package (wait a few hours for it to show up on 
the mirrors).  Let us know if this takes care of your problem.

Oh yeah, the announcement is here:
