X11 forwarding to windows - lotust7 - 24th Feb, 2014 07:27 AM
Sorry I am new to linux and try to start x11 for windows
have putty running and xMing server running but cannot start xstart
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config says :X11Forwarding yes
startx or other answer command not found
But startx does not work or either other functions ype xlogo. You could also use xeyes, xclock
what do I have to do to forward or start X11 on xian?

You need to use Raspbian and not Xbian. Xbian does not use a X server, whereas Raspbian does. That is why Xming does not work. It will work on Raspbian as I have run it!!

you could simply let him to install X.
apt-get install lxde
