If you didn't specify that X should be installed then X was not
installed.

Rerun http://cygwin.com/setup.exe, keep hitting Next, and when it gets to
the "Select Packages" screen, maximimize the screen and you'll see an
"X11" category on the bottom.  You can either install everything by
clicking once on the "Default" next to the X11 or you can click on the
plus to see the available packages and install the packages
individually.
