I've been attempting to launch X11 apps that are on my linux computer over the network onto an Apple computer. I made the changes to ssh_config and sshd_config to allow the X forwarding, and I am using the -X parameter for ssh. However, all attempts to run X11 apps give me errors, saying that they cannot connect to the display or cannot connect to the x server.
I've looked through these forums and google a ton and have not found out why it isn't working. Linux box has Slackware 10.2 on it. Apple is running OSX 10.4.3 and has X11. What am I doing wrong?
Did you launch X11 on the Mac side first? It's not smart enough to do it automatically - you have to do it yourself ahead of time. In fact, I think you need to do so before you run ssh, so ssh can get your X11 credentials.
Thanks for the quick reply! I solved the issue. I ran sshd to restart the daemon, but that did not work. I decided to outright kill the process and restart it, and that works.
Cheers!
Oh, the colors are slightly off. Do you know if there is a way to fix that? (does it have a different default number of colors, and can I change it?)

Ah, the local display was in thousands, not millions.
Now, though, all black text has a nasty yellow to it. It's probably some combination of my remote computer and this computer both trying to apply text effects on the letters. (like the sub-pixel hinting or whatever that is)
