Hello all,

I'm trying to use XOpenDisplay using MPI. My aim is to call
XOpenDisplay on each machine [master & slave alike], using each
machine's own display.
but calling XOpenDisplay (<this_machine>:<0>) fails with a null display..

When I call XOpenDisplay (":0") on the machine [without mpi], things work fine..
If I do that with the parallel version, things work on the master, but
result in a null display on all other machines..

Not sure what the general sequence of events I should be doing is, but
I'm trying:

export LAMRSH="ssh -x" // should I be sending the DISPLAY here as well?

and then lamboot and mpirun..

Thanks in advance,
-elie-
