So I should miss something because I think what I did is correct ;-) - I start cygwin using the icon from the Windows 7 desktop (bash shell is used; full cygwin install was carried out) - in my .bashrc I do have: export DISPLAY=3D127.0.0.1:0.0 - the command "echo $DISPLAY" gives in this black terminal: 127.0.0.1:0.0 - I execute startxwin.sh in this black terminal - from the new xterm opened (white), I execute "wish tmp.tcl" I get: /usr/bin/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: /usr/bin/xterm: DISPLAY is not set Where is the problem ? If I execute: export DISPLAY=3D127.0.0.1:0.0 in the x-terminal (white) & run again "wish tmp.tcl", I get the same error message...
