No, server is Linux server, not X server.

Wrong, localhost:10.0 is the correct value, and it is the one ssh sets for a
good reason: ssh itself is listening to the respective port on the remote side,
and will tunnel all the X protocol, encrypted and compressed or not, to the
client side, where it will connect to localhost:0.0 which is where your Cygwin X
server is listening.
