Hi, I need help using cygwin.  These are the following commands I input at the command line when i start a cygwin session:
$startx
$ssh -l oracle (ip address that you want to connect to)
: (password to database)
:mt
$export DISPLAY=(ip address of local computer):0.0
$cd /u01/Disk1
$./runInstaller

Then I get the following error:
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

Checking installer requirements...

Checking operating system version: must be 5.8 or 5.9.    Actual 5.8
                                      Passed

Checking Temp space: must be greater than 250 MB.   Actual 7239 MB    Passed
Checking swap space: must be greater than 500 MB.   Actual 7336MB    Passed
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors    Failed <<<<
    >>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set.

Some requirement checks failed. You must fulfill these requirements before

continuing with the installation, at which time they will be rechecked.
