Right, but that's not quite the same as the -X switch. I'd give that a
shot if I were you.

I don't believe you need to mess with the DISPLAY variable for SSH
forwarding, because SSH sets that automatically when you use the -X
switch.

Sure, I've done it plenty. Not in the past few months, but plenty of
times in the past. You just have to use the ssh -X switch.

Being both a subscriber to XM Radio and a long-time user of X11, I
requested that the OP clarify the connection he asserted between them. I
suspected he was mistaken, but I don't know everything, so I asked. It
would have been nice, if he were right, since I resent XM's recent
imposition of a fee on streaming.

The OP didn't assert any connection between XM Radio and X11.

Bobert barged into the discussion and instructed the OP to go to
xmradio.com out of the blue.

Yes, you have to have the DISPLAY variable set on the Mac before you
SSH. Otherwise, how would SSH know where to forward the X requests to?

You also have to start X11 manually, it's not running by default.

If you run SSH from within an xterm window, the DISPLAY variable will be
set automatically.
