I didn't see that you were using ssh. That adds some interesting touch to the problem. Try it on your local system first. That way you can just try: export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 export DISPLAY=localhost:0.1 export DISPLAY=localhost:1.1 xclock -geometry +0+0 xclock -geometry -0+0 to figure out which option you should use to place the window on the screen you desire. After that we'll figure out how to make it work over the remote connection. -Mark _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
