How to make PuTTY X11 forwarding work in a screen session?
- by Alex Howell
I'm using PuTTY with X11 forwarding enabled, using Xming as my X server on Windows 7.
When I SSH to a Linux host, X11 forwarding works fine.
If I start a "screen" screen manager session, it still works fine.
If I disconnect from the screen session, then later resume in a different PuTTY window using "screen -rd", X11 forwarding doesn't work any…
