Hi all I'm unable to get an app (say xterm) on a 'remote' machine (i.e. my laptop on desk next to me) to appear on my local display - both debian unstable -one running gdm and all the gnome2 stuff, the laptop xdm and miminimlist xwindow environment.
Based on some reading and previous posts here, I've tried *xhost + (apparently not relavent any more, but has helped in past) * I've removed --no-listen tcp from /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc * I've tried 'merging' xauth cookies - while I don't understand the whole xauth thing - xauth list at either end shows references to other end * apparently ssh makes xauth not applicable, so tried as below with ssh -X, but also with out -X and rsh and telnet. Also put ForwardX11 yes in ~/.ssh/ssh_config under name of other host at each end.
