The following situation: I am using VNC and on the desktop I start Putty to connect to my application. In the application, p.e. creation of contracts for leased cars, I do a system call which brings me down to a Linux shell, where I can execute the command 'display' (system "display carpicture.jpg"). As you already understand, I want to display the picture of the car. After the execution of 'display carpicture.jpg, I get the error: display: unable to open X server So when I enter the following: $ export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 $ xhost +1 still nothing happens. When I open een Terminal window as user Roland, the picture is displayed, without the commands above. Is there anybody who understands this. One should be clear, I am using VNC not MSwindows. I have the same problem with Ltsp. I browsed the web for some howto's on this, but I still do not understand. C.A.T. bvba Antwerp-Belgium roland@xxxxxx
