[IDV #FVM-820950]: IDV cannot run: unable to create graphics configuration

Jonathan,

I have run the IDV successfully from a remote linux system from my Mac laptop.

I wonder if the problem is on the cygwin side. (Is everything up-to-date on your
windows machine?)

Your best bet may be to use the IDV locally on your laptop/desktop.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
