I have a NetBSD box, a Linux box, several Windows boxes, and a Powerbook G4 DVI.
I have Hummingbird's Exceed X-windows server running on my PC's.
I can run X-apps on my NetBSD box and display them on my Windows boxes. I can
also run display them on my Linux box.
I'm trying to do the same on my Powerbook with Apple's X11 running. The Readme
file suggests going to http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1232.html for
help and advise.
This documents states the following:
Q: How do I forward remote X displays to my Mac?
A: The best (and safest) way is to simply "ssh -X user@remotehost" from the
inital xterm. X forwarding and your DISPLAY environment variable on the remote
host will automatically be set. Remote host must have X Forwarding enabled in
ssh_config file. MacOSX does not enable this by default.
I've tried many times to launch an X-app on my NetBSD box and display it on my
Mac. But any X-app always complains that is can't open the Mac's display. I
can't figure what I'm doing wrong here.
Help!!
