I've managed to connect over SSH using nautilus but I can't get this to work.

If I type

SSH -X 192.xxx.x.x

it asks me for a password, I'm assuming this is the root password I've set on my N900, but if I put this in I get access denied. It also doesn't accept my Ubuntu login password.


Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

edit ok.....I'm

ok typing ssh -X root@192.xxx.x.x then entering my root password gets me in!


Now what, how do I remote control my laptop.
