I have SuSE 9.0 running openSSH. At my Windows PC, I am running Cygwin/X and PuTTY.
I want to get into the GUI login screen over ssh. Anyone done that before?
With PuTTY, I have successfully login with ssh. Also with Cygwin/X running, I can start X-applications from within PuTTY w/ X11Forwarding enabled. But I want to use a WindowManager on the Linux machine.

So how can I do it? I assume I can do "startx" from within PuTTY, but that doesn't work either. I get this error:
