Not sure what's wrong with your DISPLAY, but 'ssh -Y' will tunnel the X connection through ssh and set up the DISPLAY correctly (usually to something like 'localhost:10.0') without you having to mess with it. You don't say, but I'm assuming you're running Linux or something like that; OSG compiled for Windows doesn't do X forwarding :) -- Bryan Thrall FlightSafety International [email protected] _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
