Well from Sun you need to set up your display and then make yourself
xauth. Since I am guessing this Solaris 9 or before... its going to be
the more arcane xauth which will need a google to get right..

xauth list
and then on the other end, you will need to do an xauth add.

The Cygwin needs to have X running or have the display manually set...
its been 6 years since I dealt with Cygwin so I am not going to try
and win that.
