Use startxwin.sh to start the X server.
Add \cygwin\bin to your PATH in Windows.
Add \cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin to your PATH in Windows.

To start Xwin with startxwin.sh you need to open a Cygwin shell
(double-click on the Cygwin shortcut at desktop) or double-click
\cygwin\cygwin.bat
Then enter in the shell:
$ cd /usr/X11R6/bin
$ startxwin.sh

Is it running now?
