Re: DISPLAY setting



It should not affect that situation, should it? I mean ssh (with tunneling, which I assume you mean) sets your DISPLAY for you automatically. You should probably not override that, unless you are using xauth or something. So just leave it alone and it should work.

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 was one of the people having problems starting X due to my DISPLAY
being set (thus preventing the magic launchd smoke and mirrors DISPLAY
string from being used). After hunting through my dot files, I
finally realized that I was setting it in ~/MacOSX/ environment.plist.


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?
