you are likely right, I will bet on "dri-drivers" not be
properly installed or having problems

$ cygcheck -cd |grep -i DRI
dri-drivers                             19.1.6-1
libdbi-drivers                          0.9.0-2
libxcb-dri2-devel                       1.14-1
libxcb-dri2_0                           1.14-1

as it should be pulled by libGL

$ cygcheck-dep -q -S -n dri-drivers
  dri-drivers: is needed for ( libEGL1 libGL1 tigervnc-server 
xorg-server-common )

Marco
