The file to patch is here:

http://pdx.freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/XWin.man?root=xorg&only_with_tag=CYGWIN


There are instructions for pulling down our CVS tree here:

http://x.cygwin.com/devel/server/


The User's Guide documentation will be helpful (the man page should 
contain at least the information in the User's Guide section on 
command-line parameters):

http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/configure-cygwin-x-options.html


The definitive resource for command-line parameters specific to XWin.exe 
is in winprocarg.c:

http://pdx.freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/Attic/winprocarg.c?root=xorg&only_with_tag=CYGWIN


A helpful guide for which parameters cannot be used together is in 
winvalargs.c:

http://pdx.freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/Attic/winvalargs.c?root=xorg&only_with_tag=CYGWIN


Finally, I usually describe how to use a new command-line parameter in 
the Change Log when the new parameter was introduced.  So, go to the 
change log and do a quick search for a particular parameter that you see 
in winprocarg.c to get some information about what it does.  Here is the 
full change log:

I hope that helps.  I will really appreciate an updated man page.
