This must be a FAQ, but I could not stumble upon a solution. With other Linux boxen, I can ssh -X into them, then run X apps on the remote with local display. On a newly installed Sarge Debian box, doing this results in the following error: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: Any suggestions as to why I can't run the remote app and see it locally? Thanks!
You will need to set the DISPLAY variable and export it. I don't know what you set it to, but I do know you will have to export DISPLAY serverx: X,X X here = display and serverx=name or ipaddress of the desired server (such as 192.168.2.4: 0,0. I have just exhausted my knowledge of the matter as I don't play with exporting displays, but I hope that helps, and at the very least, get you on the right track.
