I have been running cygwin on Vista 64bit with no issues, and have not
had to do anything other than the regular installation. I have not
had to rebase or anything. The only config change I have made is to
disable UAC in Vista, so maybe that would help (though not the best
thing).
I have not used X Windows specifically though, so maybe there is an
issue directly related to that.
