[mythtv-users] ssh tunnel/export display

[Bruce C.Dillahunty]

I have seen references to others doing this (Chris P.?) but I'm not 
sure... what I need to do is remote display (export DISPLAY) my 
mythfrontend from my main box (also the backend box) to another machine 
(a Mac OS X machine in this case). I can do that either with ssh 
tunnelling or plain "export DISPLAY=xx.xx.xx.xx:0" and it all works... 
UNTIL its time to play video.

Myth opens the window, but its just black and won't display anything 
(nor accept input). I have to kill the frontend process. The output at 
the process side looks normal:

-----------------
Xlib:  extension "XInputExtension" missing on display "dahak:0.0".

-------------------

I know performance would be bad (and no sound), but I think it would do 
for editing cutlists, quick checks of things, etc.

Since its a Mac and the frontend won't run there (yet???? :-)),  then 
this looks to be my best chance...

Help?
