access to display X programs on your desktop. You said you don't have a
keyboard connected to the desktop, so you can use an ssh session to set a system
wide setting for xhost. You didn't mention which distribution you're
using, so this might not work. It works for me on
Redhat:</FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

exist. Note: that's the number zero.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

Re:OT: Launch Mythfrontend remotely via ssh<BR><BR></DIV></FONT></FONT>
<BLOCKQUOTE style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<DIV>Let me clarify.....I don't want to run the myth display on my
laptop....only want to run it on the display attached to my desktop. But since
I don't want to have a keyboard attached to it, i'd like to be able to launch
x programs from my laptop via ssh. The reason is because from time to
time the ivtv driver crashes (it's still beta I think and hence occasionally
acts up). I can kill, and relaunch the driver remotely, but then I
usually need to restart mythfrontend.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>I tried the following command but it returned an error when I try to
launch mythfrontend.(mythfrontend: cannot connect to X server
