I am new to cygwin. I just installed it and I am trying to get my X Display to work. I first tried to set enviroment variables in the cywin window but saw that had so effect when I did echo $DISPLAY. So Then I set them in the widows env variables and now when I do echo $DISPLAY I get localhost:0, which I thought was the proper value to set it to. However even now when I try to open an xterm I get "xterm XT error: Can't open display: localhost:0" Is there something else I need to do to make this work. Is there a package in cygwin that I need to install . I have checked and I have the xorg-X11-xwin package installed version 6.8.99.901-1 so I assumed that an x server would come with cygwin. Do I need to do something specally to start it . Any help would be greatly appreciated.
