<br>
If I call correctly you can not run a X-server inside the
container as you do not have a graphical display device in OpenVZ.<br>
<br>
But you are able to export your display to an external machine. If
xauth is in your PATH it will create or update .Xauthority upon
login invoked by the ssh daemon. xauth only needed then tunneling
X over SSH. You can always invoke X programs directly by using the
parameter "-display" or better yet settting the DISPLAY
environment variable to point to your remote X-server.<br>
