How do you setup the display to the system name or IP address, X-server and screen used by your workstation?
Set by step solution would be greate
I am fairly new at this.
any help would be appreciated
 
hello,

if my understanding is correct, you want to export the graphical display of a remoter server on your local workstation.

telnet on the server, and :
export DISPLAY=your_workstation_ip_here:0.0

(eg export DISPLAY=192.168.1.1:0.0 if your wksta has 192.168.1.1 as IP).

Of course you must have a X server on your workstation (eg Exceed under Windows, and if your wkstation is Unix, juste type :
xhost +IP_from_remote_server_whose_display_is_exported, eg xhost +10.30.1.1)

then from the telnet windows launch the command of the application.

regards,
