To try and use X I've changed the command line from 'ssh -x <remote>' to 'ssh -X <remote>'.
The ssh man pages say that ssh will set the DISPLAY environment variable but it doesn't seem to do so, 'echo $DISPLAY' produces nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
People have suggested some possibilities. Using "ssh -v" is often useful when debugging SSH problems, so try that and see what (if anything) it says about X forwarding (in amongst everything else).
