I had a similar problem last summer with SUSE 8.2 and then current
cygwin/XFree86.
In my case I upgraded to a then current cygwin/XFree86 setup.
XDMCP seemed broken
2 weeks later I upgraded again. (Several related updates.)
XDMCP was working
I have since upgraded to SUSE 9.0, so I can't tell you for sure how I
had things configured.
If I were you I would start out by making sure you have the current
release of everything cygwin/XFree86.
