What exactly are the error messages?

Try this from the Bash shell:
    $ /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin.exe  -multiwindow  -clipboard &
Nothing obvious will change, but you should see the Cygwin/X Server in 
your system tray. Then:
    $ grass5
Hopefully you will be in text mode, and select a Grass dataset. Then:
    $ d.mon x1
This should get a graphics monitor going.
