Re: cannot open display localhost:10.0 - Solved Yet?

Thanks for the replies.

I can confirm that it is SSH setting the display variable.

If I login to the slackware box from a PC using putty or cygwin or
from another linux box, and echo $DISPLAY...it is not set.

If I use putty with X11 forwarding enabled and login and then echo
$DISPLAY...localhost:10.0

If I have an X server running on the PC (XMing) and then login to the
slackware box using putty with X11 forwarding enabled...I can run any
X program just fine.

So...I'm not sure where to go next.
