Ok, Cygwin's installed on my Windoze PC. A fairly stock SuSE 9.1 is installed on my laptop. I can ssh into that box with standard SSH.
From another message, I saw a reference to using: x -query hostname - to get into a remote X session. All that happens is I get a full screen X session (shows the pretty X cursor with the "checkered" background) but nothing happens.
What am I missing?
You have some edits to make to config files on the SuSE machine. Remote X isn't permitted by default (because of security implications). I basically followed this:
Wait a minute,,, He said he connected by ssh, therefore his X session would not be a remote session but rather a local session.
Read both of the OP's paragraphs. He said he connected by ssh, but also that he'd seen reference to using X - query hostname to get a remote X session, and was interested in making that work. -- Jarod C. Wilson, RHCE jcw@wilsonet.com
