Right now there is no HOWTO or FAQ for X11. 
I will put Web pages for Cygwin-Xfree which will have a
HOWTO and FAQ for X11R6, XFree86 porting issues and
other stuff related to X under Cygwin.
For general info on X you may check http://www.rahul.net/kenton.

What are exactly your questions?  Obviously B19 stuff is for Cygwin
B19.  Which apps require which stuff, please elaborate?  

At the moment all the X11 clients and libraries require an X11R6.x
compliant X-server.  Many Cygwin users
attempt to use MI/X because it was a freeware (now it costs
$25.00).  MI/X cannot do multi-windowing and is X11R5 
based therefore most modern apps under MI/X will crash.  Beside, it is a
very simple server with only stdin/stdout capbility.  Most X
applications need more then
a stdin/stdout crap.  Therefore attempts to do some serious work with
MI/X would be a waste of time.
