Remote window

I’d like to open window on remote machine. Using XLib it worked
(set $DISPLAY) but using SDL i have problem.
When i start my app from my text console and set $DISPLAY to
myhost:0.0 i works - window opens on graphical console.
but when I set $DISPLAY to otherhost:0.0 my app enters SDL_Init()
and never leaves (no error code returned…)

is it possible to do it with SDL??
what am i doing wrong?
thx for help

Please try the latest CVS code, and let us know if that works:

Make sure you uninstall all other copies of the SDL library before
you install and test the new version.

locking surface is very slow but speed isn’t the goal for me.
