Well, if DISPLAY isn't set by ssh already, that means the tunnel wasn't set
up, so setting it manually won't help anything. I don't know Cygwin, but in
linux I would look in the configuration file ssh_config (found in /etc/ssh)
and make sure the line ForwardX11 (no|yes) is set to yes. It would have to
be the client side that doesn't have this enabled if that is indeed the
cause since I know the byu computers do have x-forwarding enabled. Yet it
doesn't make much sense that Cygwin (the point being to forward x
connections) wouldn't already have it enabled by default. This,
unfortunately, is the extent of my knowledge and my last idea. Hope you
figure it out.
