Back creation failed

Hi,
I have installed xfree on my system (I attach output of cygcheck -s
-v -r at the end), but I can't start the server running
startxwin.bat from the windows command prompt. I get the errors that
I report below.
I checked the archives of this mailing list and I found somebody
reporting something similar just before Christmas ("back creation
failed") but the discussion seems to have died with the break. I
also saw some previous message suggesting that it may have to do
with the driver for the video card, but no solution suggested. I
also read in the documentation that there is a port of DirectX for
cygwin, but that it's only needed for compiling xfree but shouldn't
be needed for running it.
I also played around with the settings in startxwin.bat (as
suggested by the abovementioned discussion) but to no avail. This is
my current startxwin.bat:
@echo off
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
SET PATH=%PATH%;\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\usr\bin
start XWin -screen 0 800x600x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0
start /B xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black
-e bash
start /B rxvt -fn "Lucidia Console-12"
start /B vtwm
What I get is first a complaint that vtwm can't be found (or some of
its components), then the server seems to try to start, but I get a
dialogue window saying:
Back creation failed
Error=887601b3(unkwon error)
When I press OK I get another similar window with:
Direct Draw Init Failed
Error=887601b3(Unknow Error)
I installed all of the following packages:
xfree86-4.0-DLLs.tar
xfree86-4.0-Prog.tar
xfree86-4.0-Xmh.tar
xfree86-4.0-Xnest.tar
xfree86-4.0-Xprt.tar
xfree86-4.0-Xterm.tar
xfree86-4.0-Xvfb.tar
xfree86-4.0-Xwin.tar
xfree86-4.0-devel.tar
xfree86-4.0-fonts.tar
xfree86-4.0-twm.tar
I couldn't find xfree86-4.0-rgb.tar.bz2 though on the mirror that I
used, but rgb.txt appeared in my installation anyway.
My cygwin installation is also complete and up to date, as far as I
can tell. Here is the output of cygcheck. TIA for any help!
