Unable to run X11 applications remotely via XQuartz on a mac

32 Views Asked by At

I would like to run X11 applications on my remote FreeBSD box on my M1 mac. I have installed XQuartz on the mac and connected to my remote FreeBSD box with X11 Forwarding enabled.

With these commands, I can see the DISPLAY is set, but when running any X program, I get "Cannot open display"

ssh -X user@box
ssh -Y user@box
