Unfortunately I get errors like can't open display. Does anybody

Your guess is right. You have to start a local X11 server (startx).
And set DISPLAY before you start ssh. Also remember that some
applications need
guys, thank you for the answers.
This game is very cool. I got amazed! It works great!

Besides, I can easily pass through several machines in one shot (my pc ssh
