ouch, I know what was happening...you helped! ssh servera -> ssh -X serverb ->xeyes (no DISPLAY) ssh -X servera -> ssh -X serverb -> xeyes (Works!) been to tired fixing broken installs to fc17. I got 2 system upgraded using dvd upgrade, got 2 system screwed up and need to fresh install, one just died at the end on "script error occured installing emacs package". Been the worse upgrade season in 7 years of fedora! Not to get on anyone's bad side, fedora has been great, but the change rate is a bit over the top if it bust installs.
