If it gives distorted images also for the PPM format, then this implies
that it is not a problem of image converting programs, but is likely
some system OpenGL related issue ...

I don't know, but perhaps consider updating your cygwin, maybe that will
fix the problem (who knows?)

The OpenGL is always used, what you mean is probably the OpenGL hardware
acceleration instead.
