Yes. The "TERM" on your client is set to "cygwin", and that's being
propagated to the server when you log in, which has no idea of how to handle
it. If you're operating from CygWin, instead download and stasrt up your X
serve in Cygwin. Then run "startx", which gives you a very nice "xterm" and
a running X server. Then from the X term, use "ssh -X solarisbox" and you
should have both a TERM=xterm setting, and X tunneling setup to run X
applications on the Solaris box displayed locally on your Cygwin machine,
securely.

I *really* like this trick.
