So X11 is OK, but only for root - not the regular pi user. I must be missing something, but: how are the two related? In (2) you try to authorize X11 programs on the pi to connect to an X server running on your PC. In (3) you run an X server on the pi (and X11 clients running on the pi that should connect to it). -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best tzaf...@debian.org | | friend _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
