I have been able, with a second ssh hop onto my workstation from
the server (also forwarding X) to run individual X based
applications so that the display is on the laptop, but I can't
figure out how to get it to operate so the whole desktop gets
displayed there. Is it possible? and if so How
Not directly responsive, I know, but you could certainly run a VNC
server on the workstation (serving up a complete desktop) and then ssh
to your firewall (with X forwarding) and run VNCviewer there to
display your complete desktop session back to your laptop. A little
indirect, but it does work.
HTH,
I second the proposal that a solution based on VNC is your best bet. It
should even be possible to run a VNC viewer on your laptop and connect
to your workstation in one hop:
ssh -L 5901:workstation:5901 server
Then you would connect the viewer to localhost:1. This would remove the
need for X forwarding, and is usually faster too.
