The DISPLAY variable normally takes the form:

DISPLAY=hostname:display_number

Fore example:

DISPLAY=destop1.patito.com:0

Your emulator program must provide a X server.

[Bill Hassell]

Your emulator must be an Xwindow emulator, not a simple terminal emulator. You can purchase an Xwindow emulator from Humingbird or Attachmate. There are also some free Xwindow emulators.

Hi,

If you are connecting to your server from your PC you need following :

a) an X display (like Reflection X or Kea X or the others suggested earlier ). you have to install this and start it (use XDMP broadcast mode)

b) you have to give the IP address (or hostname/dns if its resolvable) of your PC as the display variable. use ipconfig command from the windows command prompt to check the PC Ipaddress.

e.g:- if PC IP is 10.0.0.1
then

#export DISPLAY=10.0.0.1:0.0

#stm -x
