Not sure of what it would be, but the freebsd x11 mailing list would probally be useful. Also trying a xorg specific list may be useful.

I see that it give the X client more access to your server in some way but not what way. I am running the X server from a FreeSBIE machine, and connecting to my home machine to run KDE.

Not sure if it would solve your problem, but did you try this? Several conditions have to be met to forward X11 using ssh/openssh: 1. The sshd_config file on the machine you're connecting to has to have ``X11Forwarding yes'' set. 2. On the client machine, the ssh_config file needs ``ForwardX11 yes'' or the ssh command must use the ``-X'' option. 3. On newer versions of openssh, the client ssh_config must have ``ForwardX11Trusted yes''. Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.

what's in your ~/.xinitrc ? you may be running twm or the like. Xian wrote: I cant seem to make any window manager work over ssh, but they all work locally.
