You may have to upgrade to SP6a.  Upto SP5 DirectInput was
almost not supported,
thought is still very lousey on SP6a.  You may have a little bit
better luck with SP6a.

That is because DirectX/DirectInput is the problem and it is causing server
to crash.

DXWin32 and XGDI, MUST be installed in \usr\bin\X11 and fonts and libs in
\usr\lib
and \usr\lib\X11 etc.  These are MSVC compiled executables and do not
understand Cygwin mount points.  For DXWin32 and XGDI D:\cygwin\usr

is D:\cygwin\usr not D:\usr.  It needs everything to go in d:\usr.
