OK, I know what's wrong now. The step should be:
1. Start Cygwin X
2. xhost + Remote Server
3. ssh -X Remote Server
This works for me now. At least the "refused by server" is resolved.
But not all Linux machines................
I can start X applications on some Linux machine in this way, but on some
others, it still complains about:
Error: Cann't open display: localhost:0.0
I have no idea, now the problem looks like is relating with the Linux
machine setup. Anybody can help me? Thanks!

Hi all, I have just installed Cygwin-XFree86, it works fine for local X
applications, but when I tried to open remote X application, it fails. The
log is:
Xlib: connection to "localhost:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Error: Cann't open display: localhost:0.0
I searched the maillist, looks like a lot of people have been caught by this
problem, but there is no satisfying answer yet.
I have set the DISPLAY environment to be 127.0.0.1:0.0, but no help.
I have disabled the NAV, but no help.
Looks like it is the problem with my windows X server setting, somehow, it
is not accepting the incoming request.
Any idea guys?
Best Regards,
Welson Sun
