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?

Try cygwin for Windows. I use it to get remote a desktop to my SuSE 8.0
Standard Server box via XDMCP.
After the previous emails here I am seriously looking to convert to ssh (I
have been looking at this and the time is now).
Hope this helps....

I've run through the Yast security settings - the only thing that seems vaguely related is "Allow Graphical Login", although I doubt that's involved I ticked it and restarted X. Still no go. I'm not running a firewall, I unfortunately need to run an app as root but I can't even get xeyes to run as myself, so small steps first. I'm suspecting it's a security issue, as opposed to any sort of incompatibility.
Indeed. X in SuSE 9.1 by default does not accept TCP network connections. If you are doing this over the internet, consider using "ssh -X" instead If you are doing this on a secure LAN and you *really* want to do it unencrypted, then edit /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and set DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN to "yes" and run SuSEconfig and restart X -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
