Re: Multimonitor screen
Yes, the KDE install replaced your XWin.exe with an older version that
has SHM (shared memory) support built in. You will not be able to use
KDE on Cygwin with any XWin.exe that comes from Cygwin/XFree86 proper.

Yes I had spotted that.
BUT I had downloaded all the files at the beginning of the week, and
updated a couple Wednesday (archive.progeny.com). XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-28
was already showing as the version I was using. However, XWin.exe that
was in use was an old date, without the multiscreen stuff in the help
list. After downloading Test79 I got multiscreen, now going back and
manually extracting XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-28 I see a later version of
XWin.exe.
SO what did I do wrong in the first place?
Could the KDE2 install have upset things? ( Came from
kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net )
Everything seems to be working nicely now <g>
