Redhat9 ssh Remote X Display Can't Open under windows xp

dreamcarrior · 10-05-2008, 12:13 AM

I use ssh (PuTTY) to connect to a computer running Redhat Linux 9 (redhat9). The problem is that the remote display does not work.

$ xlogo
Error: Can't open display:

I used Xming server under windows xp, and under PuTTY "Enable X11 forwarding" was checked. I could ssh to other linux machines runing Fedora6, RHEL4, IRIX 6.5 with X display correctly. However, I just cannot get Redhat9 X display. I do not have other Redhat9 machine, therefore, I don't have any idea what was gone wrong.

Any thoughts?
