Ya that should work... Although are you actually running a xserver on your windows box? Actually, are you trying to display realplayer on your windows box or on your linux box? If you are trying to display it on a windows box from a linux box, you will need an X server running on your windows box. This can be one of the many commercial x servers or X running inside of cygwin, although I don't know how well the whole ssh+putty forwarding thing would work with X inside of cygwin, as I've never tried it. ~J Ryan O'Rourke wrote: > Jonathan Kline wrote: > >> or tunnel everything through ssh then you need not worry about >> DISPLAYs and xhost and such. > > > I am tunneling, well forwarding (is that the same thing), X through SSH. > At least I think so - Putty has the "Enable X11 forwarding" option > selected for X Display Location :10 using the "MIT-Magic-Cookie-1" > remote X11 authentication protocol. > The server running X and SSH has "X11Forwarding yes" set. > > Should that work for what I'm trying to do? > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
