ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] "startx -- :1"
is not the thing I need since it start the display (invisible, because
the display is broken) on my Laptop, - Aghhhh!
How can I get the Display on my workstation?
Run an X system on the workstation and then run the applications you
need with ssh, e.g, from an xterm (or just a button in icewm, whatever):
$ssh -Xf laptop konqueror
Then the konq window will pop up onto your workstation's Xwindow
display.
