Whenever I have that issue it's because I haven't turned on X11 forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. You'll have to make sure you restart all sshd daemons on the Irix box with a kill -1 after you make the change. That at least what you have to do on Solaris. -Pete -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of Florin Iucha Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2005 8:19 AM To: Dave Sherman Cc: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [tclug-list] OpenGL client failure On Thu, Apr 14, 2005 at 08:07:58AM -0500, Dave Sherman wrote: > Doesn't the X server usually run on display :0 by default?

Me! Me! Me! Dan is ssh-ing into the box, tunneling the X connection. So, on the Irix box ssh listens on :10 and forwards the requests to the actual display on the client machine. florin -- Don't question authority: they don't know either!
