You can delete all the DLLs if you do not anything to work ;-)

Looks like I left my copy of Cygwin1.dll in usr/X11R6/bin? If you see
a Cygwin1.dll in /usr/X11R6/bin you must delete it. Are you using
B20.1 or Cygwin v 1.0?
The pre-alpha contains binaries from xfree86 but X-server in pre-alpha
were not functional. I will be removing pre-alpha over the weekend.
If you need X-server you need either XVNC, xfddx or use XGGI from pre-alpha.
Use the cygwin1.dll which came with your Cygwin.
