If that were the case, the original poster would get an immediate "No DISPLAY Environment variable" error when starting an X-only application, and MATLAB would fall back to its text interface. The problem is speed. Even on a direct 100baseT link, MATLAB takes a long time to start via X forwarding. I'd suggest using VNC and running MATLAB inside it. It is much faster, especially the version 4 beta from realvnc.com which FC1 ships with. -- Stephen Walton <stephen.walton@xxxxxxxx> Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, Cal State Northridge
