Hello Jon,

Yes, most content in windows and be zoom'd and I've been able to work 
with it, but it's the window decorations and controls that are almost 
unreadable.

I had gone through the man pages and tried many things suggested in 
them. But I must be doing it wrong, or in the wrong place.

As another test, from my cygwin64 home directory, I used:

startxwin -- -dpi 500

Similar to the example given in
    http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/man1/startxwin.1.html

In the log I found:

[ XWin was started with the following command line:

[ /usr/bin/XWin :0 -multiwindow -dpi 500 -auth 
/home/Higgins/.serverauth.10276

[ ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens
[ winInitializeScreenDefaults - primary monitor w 3200 h 1800
[ winInitializeScreenDefaults - native DPI x 240 y 240
[ [ 45339.640] (II) xorg.conf is not supported
[ [ 45339.640] (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html [ 
for more information
[ [ 45339.640] LoadPreferences: /home/Higgins/.XWinrc not found
[ [ 45339.640] LoadPreferences: Loading /etc/X11/system.XWinrc

Then again I tried:

startxwin -- -screen 0 3200x1800 AT 1

and the log output is attached ..

Thank you

---rob---
