Right. The DISPLAY variable is used by X applications to determine what display to get i/o from. Here's my two scenarios: 1. Using M/IX's "local" window manager On Win32 machine, run TNTSTART.EXE On Linux machine (locally or via telnet, doesn't matter), run this script #!/bin/bash # (replace xx.xx.xx.xx with the Win32 machine's IP address, or name if DNS or HOSTS is working) export DISPLAY=xx.xx.xx.xx:0.0 # (now fire up X apps that you want running on Win32 screen) xterm & xclock & 2. Using another window manager On Win32 machine, run XS.EXE On Linux machine, run a (quite similar) script: #!/bin/bash export DISPLAY=xx.xx.xx.xx:0.0 xterm & xclock & fvwm & Some window managers don't like this (I haven't gotten icewm working this way yet), and you come up with some funky issues concerning fonts with some applications, but by and large it's a nice solution, especially for free.
