Cant start X windows remotely

user1145509Jan 14 2015 — edited Jan 15 2015

Hi,

I just installed OL 7, and trying to connect from OS X Yosemite. I open a terminal and do "ssh -X user@ip.address". It works fine.

Then I try "startx" and get:

[...]

Loading extension GLX

(EE)

Fatal server error:

(EE) xf86OpenConsole: VT_ACTIVATE failed: No such device or address

(EE)

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support

at http://wiki.x.org

for help.

(EE) Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.

(EE)

(EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.

xinit: giving up

xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused

xinit: server error

I couldnt find a response yet. Any idea?
