The parallel program is a 3D texture based rendering server. It needs access to the graphics hardware on each node, and this is done through X. I didn't write the program and so am not so familiar with it's details. I'm working on a project to grid-enable it and other similar programs. So, I believe setting a remote DISPLAY variable isn't going to solve the issue. - Shashank. -- Shashank G.
