But all this has to be done in console mode.
Isn't it possible to connect to my laptop's X server ?? I tried something like -display <my laptop's IP>:0, and it just doesn't seem to work.
I'd rather not use VNC which I don't know well and don't like anyway.
Any suggestion ?
Code:
ssh -X user@server
EDIT: Apologies! Misread your post. It sounds like you actually want to connect to your N900's X server. This should be possible without using VNC, but it doesn't work out of the box. I think xauth is missing.
Cheers,
Jan
