Hello,
I've rented a dedicated root server (SR7 at strato.de) and would like to run qemu at it, but get the error:
# qemu -hda install.img -cdrom install47.iso -boot d Could not initialize SDL - exiting
It seems that I have to establish X connection, so I've installed Xming at my WinXP laptop and at the server I have changed these 3 lines in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
What you are doing should work if putty is really forwarding, but if you intend to do much remote X work, I'd recommend installing the freenx package on the CentOS side and running the windows NX client that you can download from http://www.nomachine.com. The only quirk I've found is that it generates a unique keypair during the install so you need to cat /etc/nxserver/client.id in a putty session, and cut/paste it into the nx client config (click configure, then the 'key' button). It takes care of running over the ssh port for you and gives much better performance than normal remote X access.
