Yes, I know I would an application like > nxclient on Android that doesn't exist :-/ > > Wouldn't: ssh -Y user@IP-address work ? It will work if you have an X-server on your Android tablet. But I doubt you have an X-Server on your Android tablet. Are you understanding what I am saying? Do you know what an X-server is?
