Hi,
I had been using Mac OS 10.6.5 X11 from Apple client on my MacBook
Pro with a Linux server forwarding the display to me for a month now
but this weekend suddenly this display forwarding stopped working. At
first I thought it was my workplace firewall blocking me but I still
could communicate via ssh and I could display forward from another
linux server. no problem
When I came in on Monday I still had the X11 not being able to open
the display from within the firewall so it is not a firewall issue. I
reinstalled X11 from Apple DVD and still the same thing. I still can
forward display to another client system no problem so I know that it
not the server having a issue. I finally download XQuartz for Snow
Leopard and installed it and after changing ssh_config to "ForwardX11
yes" and "Host to the server I wished to forward from" and rebooted
and it now X11 display forwarding works with XQuartz, however, X11
that comes with Apple still doesn't forward the display for some
unknown reason.
Any ideas why would X11 from Apple not accept display forwarding.
Thank you,
Frank
