Silly question from me, but do you have the Cygwin X server running on your Windows box? On my Windows/XP, on the bottom right of the screen are a bunch of icons. Once of which is a capital X in black with a red circle around the middle. This tells me that the X server is working. On the Windows box, I assume you're using a bash shell (looks like it). Try entering "printenv DISPLAY". My system comes back with "localhost:0.0". And I __did not__ need to set it like you did! When you logon to Linux, try issuing the command: "printenv DISPLAY" again. I get back: "localhost:11.0".
I hope this was of some help to you. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
