Subject: x over putty x forwarding over ssh and the like.
Anyone have any experience running x over SSH?

I have made it this far:


- Make sure the X server is configured and running
- Open your SSH session (with X11 forwarding enabled)
- type xterm, or your window manager command, or the name of any other X
program

Here is the rub that I have.

My Linux box is sitting in a rack without a mouse or keyboard attached to
it.

So when I startx it fails because it is looking for local mouse and keyboard
that are not attached to it.


Is there a good (easy) way around this?


Thanks,


Todd
