This works for me from one Debian Sarge machine to another after ssh'ing in with X forwarding on: DISPLAY=:0.0 realplay song.mp3 & Realplayer pops open on the remote machine's display and starts playing. Also, there used to be a command line program based on realplayer that was designed for blind people using braille readers and not running X. Can't remember what it was called, though. -Steve On Fri, Jun 03, 2005 at 01:06:38PM -0500, Ryan O'Rourke wrote: > I'm trying to run a RealPlayer-based application on a remote host from > PuTTY in Windows.
