Hi,
octave graphics need X running so please follows

http://cygwin.com/problems.html

so we can understand you X server issue.

Instead of startx you can also try startxwin
directly or though the "X Win Server" icon on the start menu.
Or the new experimental xlaunch (in package xlaunch)

Regards
Marco
