What I expect you to say is that you are starting an X server /on
your terminal/, which will then give display services to the VPS.
Your statement above seems to say it backwards. Could this be
the problem?
An X server runs on the machine with the display, not on the machine
which has community files ("file server" or "server" for short).
Theoretically, X can show windows from remote machines on the local
machine, as you might do if you run Firefox remotely.
If I misunderstand the situation, please correct me.
Andrew
