You have to enable X11Forwarding in the remote ssh server through putting following line X11Forwarding yes into /etc/ssh/sshd_config (search X11Forwarding, its turned off per default in debian). Then restart your remote server through # /etc/init.d/ssh restart Log in again and it should work now. DISPLAY should be set to localhost:10.0 So long Thomas -- ___ Obviously we do not want to leave zombies around. _/___\ - W.
