Hello,
I've found the solution for my problem:
sudo yum install xorg-x11-xinit
Once I've done that, then started Xming with -ac
and PuTTY with X11 Forwarding enabled,
then the variable DISPLAY got set to localhost:10
automatically and I could run X-programs
Your advice with NX has worked too, thank you, Les:
sudo yum install freenx
sudo cat /etc/nxserver/client.id_dsa.key
(paste the key into Windows NX client prompt)
Regards
Alex
