But another network savvy fellow on the emc list says I should get the display by running this on the pi: xauth extract - $DISPLAY|ssh <pi-usr>@<raspi-ip> xauth merge - which does not update the $DISPLAY var on the pi, it remains at at localhost:10 This was the actual command line: gene@raspberrypi:~ $ xauth extract - $DISPLAY|ssh gene@192.168.71.9 xauth merge - gene@192.168.71.9's password: gene@raspberrypi:~ $ echo $DISPLAY localhost:10.0 This lack of apparent effect is possibly an artifact of my being logged into both SBC from a 3rd (this machine) source. Thank you Peter. Got to get more sleep tonight. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
