I've been attempting to get matlab working over SSH for the last week or so, on and off, and I finally got it today. I know this will probably result in a "Go complain to nVidia", but I'll let you know about it anyway.
I've been in my dorm room, connecting to and.engin.umich.edu in an attempt to use matlab. Other X11 programs worked fine (xmaple and gaim, for example), but matlab would hang after popping up with the flash screen. Today I reverted back to the "nv" driver (from "nvidia") and found that everything worked fine. Should I file a bug or just go tell nvidia? --Greg I'm using Branden's 4.2.1-0pre1v1 debs, BTW, but not the XFree86-debug server.
