I just tested my setup and it works fine.  I didn't set up anything 
specially as far as I know.

I can detach the screen session running under Cygwin, log out and 
back in, reconnect screen and the screen window looks the same as 
when I detached.

I would not expect screen to work from a console.  What kind of 
terminal are you using when you try to use it "under cygwin sshd"?

Regards,
Gary
