@AngryMasterYoda - sorry I completely forgot that X11 forwarding is not default on n900 (N900 bug)! To enable X11 forwarding, do the following on your phone: install libxmuu1- 'sudo apt-get install libxmuu1' install xauth- https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2494 then try it again and get back to me
