I think /usr/bin/display is a graphics display program to show you jpeg and such. But typically you'd do a export DISPLAY=machine_name:0 or :1 etc. Then run the X program and it should pop up on the other display. If it gives a permission denied and doesn't show up, you'll have to change the way X starts in the xinitrc or enable X forwarding in the ssh config files. If you need help finding these files I can probably help later. But to busy now and I don't remember off the top of my head. -----Original Message----- From: Escobedo, Jaime HS [mailto:jaime.escobedo@hs.utc.com] Sent: Mon 10/30/2006 4:19 PM To: Stout, Warren; suse-kde@suse.com Subject: RE: [suse-kde] How to Remote display and put in specific desktop Just realized that "display" is our own custom utility that allows us to remote display not the standard one found in /usr/bin/display. But suppose I was to use ssh and the remote machine is layed out as :0 Hum, this might be more technical than I thought!!!

But depending on how the remote desktop is layed out, you can have :0 or :1. There could also be diplays of :0.0 or :0.1 So first off I'd make sure of what your target is. Another thing would be if you're using ssh forwarding for X or just telnet. Configuring for this is different. -----Original Message----- From: Escobedo, Jaime HS [mailto:jaime.escobedo@hs.utc.com] Sent: Mon 10/30/2006 7:26 AM To: suse-kde@suse.com Subject: [suse-kde] How to Remote display and put in specific desktop Ok, time to call in the "Big BoyZ" (yup that's all of u).... How can I send a display to another machine and specify to be put on certain desktop? I've tried a combination of things using "display" and "kstart -desktop 2" and still displays it on the current desktop. Let's say.. I want to display an image from one machine to a second one, but on the second one I'd like it to go to desktop 2. Thanks, Jaime Escobedo
