Re: DISPLAY setting



Speaking of strange things. . .

What is the "recommended" way for X DISPLAY to be handled between Leopard and Tiger?

Obviously since Tiger needs it set. . . and Leopard does not. . . and if Tiger HAS it set and you SSH to it from a Leopard box (I.E. laptop) there is no X forwarding magic happening there.

(An no the answer shouldn't be upgrade your Tiger installation to Leopard ;) )


Thanks, -Bobby

I think I was doing that because it got me a DISPLAY in terminal, but
I honestly don't remember.  Removing it, logging out, and logging in
again allowed X to work normally.  (if you can consider the strange
launchd behavior normall..)


Where by "strange" you mean "carefully designed and improved", right?
