Re: [mesa-users] remote pgplot

[RICHARD H D T. <tow...@as...>]

I wonder if pgplot will still try to create a remote X session when you start up, even if no windows are opened.

If this occurs, you can make the X session local to the (remote) server by setting the DISPLAY environment variable to localhost:0.0

But you’ll need appropriate permissions to access the X server, and may have to play with xhost and/or .Xauthority files. It’s a bit messy.

cheers,

Rich
