When do you set the DISPLAY variable? I've never used Cygwin, so I'm not exactly sure how you use it, but in my experience with ssh you don't set the DISPLAY variable. If you're setting it after you connect, you probably don't want to do that. When I ssh into a remote machine, the DISPLAY on that machine is something like 'localhost:10.0'. Display 10 is the 'virtual' display, if you will, that forwards to your local machine, you don't want to change that. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
