I think these often reported error "Direct Draw Init Failed" depends on
the display driver.
First, I tried on ThinkPad600E (Windows2000JP, NeoMagic 256AV),
I encountered this error. Next, I tried with my Desktop PC (Windows2000JP,
RivaTNT), I could start the XServer (of course, twm and xterm too!).
And I got the following NeoMagic DirectX information:
"NeoMagic provides drivers to notebook computer makers which are
compatible with DirectX 2 and DirectX 3. "
Yes, NeoMagic display driver does not certificated by Microsoft.
Some display drivers don't support the full DirectX7 functions,
so that XServer crash with the error "DIERR_UNSUPPORTED", I thought.
common environment:
Cygwin 1.1.2 + snapshot 20000719 on Windows2000Japanese
Latest Cygwin-XFree (4.0.1)
DirectX 7.0(4.07.00.0700) - delivered with Windows2000
