But I seem to recall that we ran > solaris X using WinAXE or VNC or something like that > for fast network (LAN) telnet/rlogin (better not ssh) export DISPLAY=IP-of-your-display:0 then start X apps when i do this: export DISPLAY=192.168.0.100:0 xterm first it tells me that export can't befound, I guess that is because it is a built it. So I added to my .profile the following DISPLAY=192.168.0.100:0 export DISPLAY Logged out and logged back in. Alas no display variable When i run xterm it tells me that there is not display variable. Anyone with suggestions Thanks Gary make sure to allow on your local display connecting X program - man xhost for lower speed connection ssh -C -X yournetra then run X apps for lowest speed connection run VNC. if your local display run windoze you probably have only the last choice. i don't know if they are working X11 servers for windows.
