Actually this has nothing to do with ssh...

On my box that I have running X windows I can type mozilla in a terminal window and mozilla comes up... no problem. I then stop mozilla.

I then do CTL+ALT_F1 to get a console. I login as root. (x windows is not logged in as root). I then type "mozilla --display=machine:0.0" and nothing happens.

How do I pop up mozilla and display it in this maner? This represents what I want to do not how I am doing it.

Thanks,

Jerry
