ssh -x (lowercase) works just fine. I enter my password and immediately receive a command prompt.(and then a bunch of options)
I get a password prompt, but after entering my password, nothing elsecygwin-prompt> DISPLAY=:0 ssh -Y user@server do you then get a Password: prompt?
If you do, and you enter your linux password, do you then get a prompt
on your linux box? If not, this question is probably not related to X
at all. Contact e.g. another cygwin list.
happens. I do not get a command prompt after entering my password.
Does the same happen if you run "ssh -x" (note the lowercase) without DISPLAY= and -Y? If so, you may indeed have a general ssh issue -- try to get a working prompt first, and then set up X forwarding.
One more place to check is your startup scripts on the remote machine.I don't see any scripts that would change the DISPLAY variable on the server. Also, if I ssh directly in to the server, "echo $DISPLAY" shows that the variable is empty. Should this have a value?
Do they change the value of DISPLAY (they shouldn't -- it should be left
at whatever ssh sets it to)? Do they try to launch an X client if DISPLAY
is set (that could be what's causing the apparent "hang")?

[*] Well, there are more configuration options to check, but the two
things above are required regardless of the configuration.
