<br><br></blockquote></div>Garrick,<br><br>In the latter part of my post that you snipped, I mentioned trying to use ssh. I should have said I have x-forwarding turned on, so -X would be redundant. As I said, nvidia-settings is too smart and even though I invoked it on the frontend thru an ssh tunnel from the backend, it tunnels back to the backend to determine the monitor to be configured. ;-( (note the reference to localhost:10 which is the x-forwarded reference back to the backend display).
<br><br>So, the question remains, how do I reference one machine or the other, depending on whether I'm using the --ctrl-display or --display parameter, in order to configure the frontend display with nvidia-settings window displayed on the backend?
