You may wish to note the desired filename in the links below, then download from your closest mirror (http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html).

(MATSUZAKI Kensuke) 2) Not in the release build, but in the sources: Clean up the RANDR extension code to match the latest RANDR interface. This can't be enabled yet because it crashes on startup in 32 bit per pixel mode. (Harold Hunt) Release plans: I intend to make XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-15 the stable release as soon as I receive some feedback that it does not introduce any substantial bugs. Be sure to check non-rootless mode with the ``-scrollbars'' parameter and make sure that the window is created at the correct size and that there is no wierdness when resizing. For example, I recall seeing Cygwin/XFree86 startup with the display area being chopped to allow space for scrollbars that were not being displayed. I didn't look into that one --- so I would appreciate it if someone else could verify that it happens. Enjoy, Harold
