You just have to tell the X programs you want to run on the server to connect to the X server on the machine you're working on. Read the following HOWTO: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Remote-X-Apps.html Suppose you are working on a machine called "desktop.thought.org", and the server is "server.thought.org". You have to set up the X server on desktop.thought.org to accept remote connections using xhost(1) or xauth(1). You have to configure your firewall on desktop of allow connectio= ns on tcp/udp ports 6000-6063 from server.thought.org through. Then you should be able to login to the server via ssh, and start e.g. an X terminal on the display of the desktop by giving the following command in t= he ssh session: xterm -display desktop.thought.org:0 & You could also set the DISPLAY variable on server.thought.org to point to desktop.thought.org:0. That way you don't have to start every X program with the -display argument. > i managed > to have portupgrade finish succesfuully last night without breaking > anything. there were 33 things that failed, 0 skipped, and=20 > More than 450 ports successfully upgraded. i checked with pkgdb > -Favf; it worked. what failed was related to the x11 drivers. AFAIK, you don't need the drivers to do X forwarding. But you _do_ need the X11 libraries and header files to compile X programs.
