I was trying to do --display=machine:0.0 and all I needed was --display=:0.0 Specifying the machine or IP address was not working for some reason... Jerry ------------------ Actually this has nothing to do with ssh... On my box that I have running X windows I can type mozilla in a terminal window and mozilla comes up... no problem. I then stop mozilla. I then do CTL+ALT_F1 to get a console. I login as root. (x windows is not logged in as root). I then type "mozilla --display=machine:0.0" and nothing happens. How do I pop up mozilla and display it in this maner? This represents what I want to do not how I am doing it. Thanks, Jerry

[CentOS] Centos 4.1 DISPLAY question - A Question of Language
Please take this in the light-hearted manner it is intended... I got yelled at once by an X-Fanatic for saying what you said, Jerry. When talking about X we never put the word 'window' together with the letter 's'. It is described as either the 'X Windowing System' or just simply 'X'. At least that what he told me. Or rather yelled at me.
