Ummm....cygwin does not include an X-server. Neither do any of the X11
*client* library distributions. You need to get an Xserver from somewhere
else -- there are two free versions available for PC's: XWin-32
(http://www.starnet.com/) and MiX
(http://www.microimages.com/freestuf/mix/). MiX is unrestricted, while
XWin-32 is a demo version - it times out after 2 hours, but you can restart
another 2hour session immediately. I use XWin-32.
