Xilinx ISE on remtoe Display

If use use the xhost system, and manually set $DISPLAY project navigator works. So perhaps it just doesn't like the way SSH tunnels the X stuff.

Shame, I'd have preferred doing it over ssh

(BTW, I've spotted the comedy subject typo, too keen to get help I guess)

I have ISE6.3 running on SuSE9.3, and it works fine over SSH. $DISPLAY is set to "localhost:13.0" for example, no other settings were neccessary in my case.

ISE works fine for me through an ssh tunnel but I've got Fedora Core 3 on both my server and my workstation, your problem could be Solaris related. I'm using the 7.1sp3 tools. The server is running 64 bit FC3, the workstation is running 32 bit FC3.

I do get the following warning when I start ISE but it doesn't seem to effect anything,

OLE API Function OleInitialize is not currently implemented. Further warnings will be suppressed

That's encouraging. Perhaps I'll have a deeper dig around another time.

Until then everything is working fine with using the xauth approach. Luckily my workstation only has a single direct LAN connection to my display machine, so I can keep security tight.

I've been getting the same warning too, whether I'm displaying locally or remotely. I don't think it's important.

Hi!

I cannot talk about ISE, but XPS works through ssh -X.

There is one thing worth mentioning it: if I try to run XPS on my local display (no remote usage), I have to set DISPLAY to ":0", but it is *not* working when DISPLAY is set to ":0.0" (which is the default on my debian system).

I have a FC3 desktop and am able to run ise from a RHEL3.0 server and forward it to my desktop. I use "ssh -Y". If ssh doesn't work for you, you can always use vncserver/vncviewer combination.

HTH, Jim

I had both 'X11 forwarding' and 'trusted X11 forwarding' enabled on a perhost basis in my ~/.ssh/config file, so that avoids the need for -X or -Y.

The thing that really confused/frustrated me though was that other applications happily displayed remotely. xclock, even coregen and floorplanner would pop-up, but the Project manager does nothing. Very odd.

Although VNC is a great tool, it is a little slow, and I've got everything working by opening up the X server and using xauth. Thanks for the suggestion though.

After installing the latest Solaris Patch Cluster, I've been able to resolve this. Be warned though, one of the Solaris Patches breaks X11 Forwarding. You need to disable the IPv6 stuff to get it to work again. There's some info here:

Hope this helps someone. Andy
