I don't know if this is the same bug... I wanted to start OpenOffice on a remote machine (where I also have a local X connection), via ssh. $DISPLAY is correctly set:
ay:~> echo $DISPLAY localhost:10.0 (which is normal when using ssh). But when I wanted to start OpenOffice, I got an error showing that the local display was used instead: ay:~> openoffice Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) Major opcode of failed request: 128 (XFree86-DRI) Minor opcode of failed request: 1 () Serial number of failed request: 11 Current serial number in output stream: 11 I have no problems when starting xterm remotely, for instance. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
