Now that's pretty nifty.  I have been using Cygwin for a little while to
connect to my server using command line but I was not aware that one could
use X..

I tried the above command (changing "LINUX_BOX" to the real name of my
server) but all I get is a blank screen with "Cygwin/Xfree86 - 0:0" at the
top.  The cursor is alive and well.  What is missing from my set up?  The
server display configuration is set to 800x600 but my Windows Box has been
set to 1600x1200.  Could this be the problem?  The Cygwin X display fills
the 1600 x 1200 screen.

Regards,

Rick
