The documentation given at https://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup.html isn't really clear about what packages shall be selected. It only states one awaiting all others pulled in as dependencies. Since this isn't true it might be better to give a list which ones to select.
Now the next problem: xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused xinit: server error Any idea about this problem?
