cygwin octave x11

[Chillosaurus <ottobob89@gmx.de>]

I try to run octave in cygwin, which works fine, but if I want to draw a plot
it doesn't open a new window.
I'm a beginner with cygwin and unix-environments and was not able to find an
understandable solution.
Starting octave i get the following error:
warning: X11 DISPLAY environment variable not set
Typing "startx" I get the following:
xauth: (stdin):1:  bad "add" command line
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/OTF/, removing from
list 
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Warning:          Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols
>                   Ignoring extra symbols
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
winBlockHandler - pthread_mutex_unlock()
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid
MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key..

I had this error message starting matlab, can that be fixed, is this the
same problem or a different one?
Warning: No display specified.  You will not be able to display graphics on
the screen.

thanks a lot
