I have a Win8 box with Cygwin's XWin Server. I launch it and in the terminal window that opens I do the xhost + command. Then I logon to the AIX/Linux host via telnet/ssh client from my windows box and do the export DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0 command. Then if I run anx-based app (like xclock) from the Win8 box it displays fine on the Win8 box. Or am I misunderstanding something?
