Im trying to setup my Linux machine (at home) to run X-windows based applications on the math servers. How can this be done?
A Waterloo-specific version of xterm is used on the math servers to manage $DISPLAY. Unfortunately, this means other versions of xterm cannot talk to xdisplay. You can try ssh with the -X option. Be warned though, this merely forwards x communications through the connection, which may be extremely slow. Although basic X-applications may be usable, intensely graphical applications should be avoided. The low bandwidth extensions to X (LBX) can be used via a lbxproxy.
