How to use Cygwin to access X windows

Hi,
I use WinMe, want to access, remotely, X-windows of my FreeBSD6.2 machine using the Cigwin from my windows machine as a normal user.

However, I can login (through ssh and Telnet) to my FeeBSD machine as root and/or 'su' from some users grouped to the 'wheel' group.

I'm still new to server administration stuffs.
May I expect an step by step method for this or a pointer (url) to the same?

Thanks in advance.

I run 'xterm' through the Cygwin prompt and it runs, then I login to my FreeBSD machine as su, and run 'XDM' to ensure that the X-display manager is running.

Now I fire 'startx' command to get the X-windows through my xterm. It does some processing with a lot of messages scrolling over my screen. However it ends with some messages (I'll post next...) saying "...Broken path....error...server killed....etc...."

What's the Broken Path??

I have not set followings as per someones suggestion once --:

-set "X11UseLocalhost no" in the sshd config file?

- issue ssh -XY, not just ssh?

As these are not very clear to me.

Please advice something, so that I can proceed further.

Further thing is my Cygwin-X is working fine as I can run many x-utilities locally like xedit, xeyes, xcalc, ....etc....

Thanks.
