Thanks.  This is interesting.

It seems that your graphics card doesn't support WGL_ARB_multisample, 
but does support WGL_ARB_framebuffer_sRGB, which seems a bit unusual.

I've built an libGL1 with a change to handle this situation better [1]

If you download that, chmod +x it, and replace /usr/bin/cygGL-1.dll with 
it (keep a copy of the existing version), you can try 'glxinfo' and 
plotting with octave, to see if it improves things.
