Hello everyone,

Had a quick question on cygwin. I am trying to use it to ssh to one of our linux
servers and and try running a x-windows application.

But i get the error: Cannot open Display. The other warnings can be ignored as
they are specific to the application that i am trying to run.

$ consed
no ./.consedrc file so no project-specific resources--that's ok
couldn't open readOrder.txt--that's ok
Error: Can't open display:


I was successfully running the apps using x-win32.

Any ideas how to get the display working and the GUI to pop up?

Thanks for the help:)
