Thank you for your reply! I tried that as well, but I get the same
problems. I set DISPLAY on my Cygwin to localhost:0.0 which does indeed
allow me to start XTerm. I do an ssh -X (and I tried -Y as well) but
DISPLAY is still not set on the FreeBSD end. I have now tried manually
setting DISPLAY to (localhost:0.0, localhost:10.0, ip:0.0, ip:10.0) on
the FreeBSD end and still nothing is working. If I use ip:0.0 I get
some router traffic, but nothing actually happens and then it just stops
trying saying it could not open the display. My XServer is indeed
running (XWin -ac -multiwindow) as I can connect via a local CoLinux
install just fine.
