Re: 1.7.1: no xdmcp login prompt after upgrade

Tony,

Try installing from http://cygwin.com/win-9x.html to get version 1.5.25.
Although it states it is only for supporting Windows 95/98/Me, it may
work to get your functionality back.

This is 1.5.25 as you noted and, as such, will work as well or as poorly as 1.5.25 always has. As a warning, 1.5.x doesn't have a great record on W7 machines. And I have to add the obligatory warning that 1.5.25 is a dead branch so you'll see no further development or bug fixes there. The take-away from this last statement is that you should keep an eye on 1.7.x and, to the extent possible, help resolve problems that you find there so you have an upgrade path if/when 1.5.25 lets you down.
