Apologies, I didn't read through your post the first time through. If you are doing both the above an you still can't start any X applications, provide additional detail. Essentially, the following should work or provide more information. - Start in an existing X session as a user capable of displaying clients on the active display. - Connect to the remote host. For debugging purposes, use the verbose option: $ ssh -X -v user@remote 2>&1 | tee ssh.log - Launch an X client from the remote client. I usually pick xlogo as a simple, light, fast test: $ xclient ...if any of this fails, check your debugging output for messages and post back. -- Karsten M.
