Problems with X11 Forwarding

[Aaron Dalton]

I thought this might be the best place to post the question.  I am 
running FreeBSD5.4-RELEASE.  For the sake of argument, let's say I am 
trying to get the port editors/fte running on my Windows box via an SSH 
tunnel.  I am running WindowsXP, cygwin's X11 server, and PUTTY.  As far 
as I can tell from all my Googling, this should actually be quite simple:

- openssh is setup on FreeBSD with X11Forwarding=yes
- I start the cygwin X-server (XWin -ac -multiwindow)
- Putty is configured to forward X11 sessions
- I connect via Putty
- running '$ fte' from the FreeBSD command line should supposedly open 
everything up now on my Windows box, but it does not.

 From what I understand, when I connect now via Putty the env variable 
DISPLAY should be set.  But it is not (which is the error fte gives me 
when I try to run it).  If I try to manually set the DISPLAY variable (I 
tried localhost:0, localhost:0.0, ip:0, ip:0.0) it still doesn't work. 
editors/fte is fully installed (with X11libs and all that) but I wonder 
if there is more I need installed on the FreeBSD end to make things work.

I really appreciate your time and any assistance you can render.
