Cygwin - ImageMagick / display

Asked by Janak__Porwal in CYGWIN, X-Windows Window Manager

Tags: cygwin, x11, display

Hi,
  I am a new user of cygwin. I can use all command line utilities fine from the cygwin bash. However, when I try to run ImageMagick's  "display" command, I get an error: "display: Unable to open X server".Opening eyes gives an error: "Error: can't open display".

Note that I only want to be able to use such GUI applications from Cygwin, nothing else (I dont want X server to accept remote connections etc.).

What is the basic configuration I need to do?

Thanks
Janak
