The first thing to check is whether you're using the Cygwin versions of OpenSSH and CVS. AFAIK, there is no ssh2 command in the Cygwin OpenSSH package. Running "which ssh2" should give you an idea of which ssh you're getting. It does sound like you're getting a Windows program that attempts to detect the console (and gets the one that opened the X window).
