I have that and it is the problem. Apparently " ssh -x " overrides it but then I still can't connect and its not clear how to talk to both in one session. I can get close, xinput --list Unable to connect to X server marchywka@marchywka-Latitude-E6510:~$ export DISPLAY=:0 marchywka@marchywka-Latitude-E6510:~$ xinput --list No protocol specified Unable to connect to X server but then further playing with XAUTHORITY based on various help websites did not help ( although it may have logged the guest account off of the remote session lol). In actual fact probably the pointers' input to the local X server will not matter but it will make the login screen do odd things and I should know how to do this anyway. Now that I'm hacking USB, if I can dig up a male-to-male big USB connector I may try to see if I can hack this digital multimeter I bought that came with a windows disc that I think I lost. That would give me temperature or line voltage monitoring etc. I'm amazed how cheap these things are now it may be easy to setup some basic lab equipment with little effort now with a USB expander.
