Not easily. If the X server is listening on TCP (port 6000) you could probably portforward back to that You'd have to use "xauth" to set up authentication tokens too: xauth list (gives you a token) dbclient -R 6000:localhost:6000 remotehost then on the remotehost: export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 xauth add <token goes here> or something like that. Proper -X or -Y support could be added to Dropbear though would probably need something like the X11 proxy for xauth that OpenSSH has. Matt
