RE: X seems to run, but in wrong video mode

[Harold Hunt <Harold at compasstechnologies dot com>]

It's not really outdated; the Test 7 release works by copying the X Server
display to your Windows display at a rate of 15 frames per second, utilizing
between 5 and 25% of your CPU time even when your X Clients are idle.  I
could modify the Test 7 release to write directly to the primary frame
buffer on NT, but I've already moved on to programming the next release that
uses Windows GDI and DirectDraw calls to draw the X Server screen.  I don't
want to recommend that everyone use Test 7, as it has lousy performance :)

Harold,
isn't this part a little outdated now? :)

"Run /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer.
Currently, Cygwin/XFree86 launches in full-screen mode only; work is
continuing on providing a windowed mode."

No, Harold Test 7 *does* run in a window, of course. That's what I'm using
here.
