OK, the README says to use this line:
X -config my.conf -noreset -retro :1
but Cygwin X doesn't support the "-config" option.
Any recommendations for how to make this work?
/usr/bin/X is a symlink to the native DDX. On Linux this is Xorg, but
on Cygwin this is XWin. The xf86-* plugins are meant for the former, so
you will need to call Xorg instead.
