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. Therefore, it should work ssh server in suse allowed forwarding x11 over ssh, either as a default or because he used requested it from his windows client. For point of reference, if you set up forwarding of X over ssh you do not have to tweak any suse settings in the X server or remote access to same. I do this daily. ssh takes care of it for you. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
