OK. I'm legally brain dead. We all agree on that.
I reread your original posting and realized I'd overlooked something.
The "startx" command is for starting an X server _locally_; the X
server must be run locally because it talks to your video device
directly. The "exceed" software should already be providing the X
server capability for your PC. This means that you don't need to use
"startx" at all. Just let ssh manage the $DISPLAY variable for you
and all should be well. I found this web site:
http://www.uic.edu/depts/accc/software/exceed/sshexceed.html
that appears to know what it's talking about, but I'm not able to
test it.
Cheers!
