Hi
I seem to be able to make X forwarding work between my Cygwin clients,
but not between a Debian client and Cygwin SSH server(at least not
properly). The weird thing is that I can run something like xcalc from
the Debian shell without any issues, it just pops up as expected, but
Gvim
I've been using XWinLogon to do X forwarding over SSH, to give a
gnome-session on WinXP. That all worked fine, with a startup script of:
SET PATH=c:\Program Files\xwinlogon SET DISPLAY=:0 start XWin_GL.exe :0
-clipboard -trayicon -bs -keyhook -nowinkill -nodecoration start xterm -e
/usr/X11R6
if you are doing X forwarding.
The suggestion meant to set DISPLAY on the client side (Cygwin), you are correct
about not changing it on the server side.
Just do:
export DISPLAY=localhost:0:0
ssh -Y ...

Greetings. I've looked over the mailing list, but haven't been able to
find out why using
ssh -X remote-host
wouldn't actually let you run X apps on the distant machine (to display
locally). I'm using the absolute latest and greatest Cygwin XFree86
(fetched yesterday).
Any help would be

Have you configured the remote end to accept X forwarding in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config?

Try to throw on one or two -v's to check what ssh thinks.
From where do you do ssh -X remote-host, and what is the value of the
variable
?
Merci beaucoup.

Hmm looked through the mail again and saw:

Have you tried ssh -X, capital X, using small x disables ssh
forwarding.

Assuming local_host here is host_done_ssh_from?
Yeah. I was on the remote machine (through a SSH session) and set DISPLAY

I just recently upgraded to Win2K from WinNT. In doing so, I also
upgraded to the latest and greatest cygwin release.
After doing this, everything works fine (most things better) accept

This probably should have been on the xfree list.

In ssh you get x forwarding. But, I can't seem to get it working. A
command like:
ssh -l user system x app
always responds with something like:
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display
