John, please read the cygwin/xfree main page. It has been recently
updated to reflect the support for b20 (none) and where to get binaries.

There is a how-to on installation on it's way. 

For development, you should probably download all the precompiled
binaries, including the development tarball, and crack open gdb and see
what is causing the seg fault. Also you may need to get the cgywin 1.1.4
source, and build a debug build of cygwin1.dll

Pre-compiled X11R6.4 Libraries/Clients and Cygwin1.1.4

[John Dell]

Hello,

Warning:  I am new to cygwin and what I am saying might not make sense.

Am I correct is saying that the pre-compiled X11R6.4 Libraries/Clients 
compiled under B20.1 won't work under the latest release of Cygwin?  I have 
downloaded the latest Cygwin distributution but can't compile the examples 
in the pre-compiled X11R6.4 Libraries/Clients distribution.

REAL REQUIREMENTS:  I am trying to us PETSc scientific computing software 
under cygwin.  This includes a very nice X-windows interface which helps 
debugging source code (gives a nice graphical picture of the structure of 
matrix entries).  To do this it uses an X-windows interface.  While it 
compiles, it baffs with a segmentation fault.  Note that I can run an xterm 
fine.
