That's the wrong procedure, you should not set DISPLAY yourself, ssh takes care of that, and the value of DISPLAY is not <your client IP>, ssh will set it to <your server IP>:10 or similar. > then: > xarkeia & > > After this I get an error message: > Cannot open display [] That's what happens when you set DISPLAY wrong, in this case there is a firewall that prevents direct connections. Ssh doesn't use direct connections, it tunnels the X protocol over the same connection you used to log-in. -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
