RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Overlay and No DirectInput Test 5 - No Overlays

Harold,
	I do not mean to be insulting, but was your fix supposed to 
produce a window or induce some other type of behavior? Once again I 
tested your fix with two NT 4.0 (SP5) machines, one with an Appian 
jeronimo 2000 card and one with an Intense3d Wildcat 4110 card. I ran 
the bat file:

@echo off
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;C:\cygwin\bin
XWin -screen 0 1024x768x32 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0

and got the response in a Command Prompt window:


C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin>startxserver
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
Desired Width: 1024, Height: 768, Depth: 32
xf_dx.dll: Process attach
enable_xf_dx: LoadLibrary success
xf_dx.dll: AdjustVideoMode entered
Adjusted Width: 1024, Height: 768, Depth: 32
xf_dx.dll: winDXAllocateFramebufferMemory entered
xf_dx.dll: Process detach

C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin>

but no window appeared and nothing noticeable happened to the screen. 
At least there were no errors this time, so you must be getting close 
(cross our fingers).
