Sounds like I've got my Cygwin/Xfree setup the way you'd like. You can do it, too, in 3 easy steps... 1) Edit the file .bash_profile in your home directory and make sure the X11R6/bin directory gets added to your path. e.g.: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin 2) Put your .xinitrc file in

Gavin, I forgot to mention something that is becoming apparent now: Matlab may be using OpenGL, which is implemented in software in Cygwin/XFree86. Thus, OpenGL is extremely slow in Cygwin/XFree86. Some of the commercial X Servers for Windows have an accelerated implementation of OpenGL
