after some updates of gentoo i lost ssh-x11 tunneling, (every week and months i update my gentoo, this problem is going to far in history when i using 2004.1 and after some sync + update system +world = i get this problem, i think this problem gone with some more updates, but problem still exist ) no information i cant find about this problem. this problem affected only when i connect from gentoo to redhat (RHEL3). RHEL3 to RHEL3 works fine Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: ai@ai ~ $ uname -a Linux ai 2.6.13-gentoo #5 SMP Sat Sep 3 20:02:28 MSD 2005 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux ai@ai ~ $ ssh -X database [ai@database ai]$ uname -a Linux database 2.4.21-4.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Oct 3 17:52:56 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [ai@database ai]$ env | grep DISPLAY DISPLAY=localhost:13.0 [ai@database ai]$ xterm after this actions i get blank window of xterm without content. on connect with verbose option i get debug2: channel 0: send open debug1: Entering interactive session. debug2: callback start debug2: x11_get_proto: /usr/bin/xauth -f /tmp/ssh-RQvEl30928/xauthfile generate :0.0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 untrusted timeout 1200 2>/dev/null debug2: x11_get_proto: /usr/bin/xauth -f /tmp/ssh-RQvEl30928/xauthfile list :0.0 . 2>/dev/null debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing. debug2: channel 0: request x11-req confirm 0 debug2: client_session2_setup: id 0 debug2: channel 0: request pty-req confirm 0 debug2: channel 0: request shell confirm 0 debug2: fd 3 setting TCP_NODELAY debug2: callback done debug2: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768 debug2: channel 0: rcvd adjust 131072 [ai@database ai]$ xterm debug1: client_input_channel_open: ctype x11 rchan 2 win 65536 max 16384 debug1: client_request_x11: request from 127.0.0.1 47151 debug2: fd 7 setting O_NONBLOCK debug1: channel 1: new [x11] debug1: confirm x11 <<< at this moment window showing but without content and problem with drawing additionaly i start xterm within strace with output of strace which periodicaly print [pid 13975] read(3, "\226\346\325\0\16\0@\3\16\0@\3\225\215\4\1\202\0\25\1\311"..., 32) = 32 [pid 13975] select(4, [3], [], [], {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) [pid 13975] select(4, [3], [], [], {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) [pid 13975] ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 [pid 13975] ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 [pid 13975] select(4, [3], [], [], {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) [pid 13975] ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 [pid 13975] ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0 [pid 13975] select(4, [3], [], [], {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) [pid 13975] select(5, [3 4], [], NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3]) [pid 13975] ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [32]) = 0

Which ssh package are you using?
on gentoo side: openssh-4.2_p1 on redhat side: openssh-3.6.1p2-18 P.S: this problem exist also when i using openssh-3.x on gentoo side.
I've had the same problem recently forwarding x11 through ssh to a mac (window shows up, contentless), but this also causes my monitor to power off and ssh to (probably) crash (I can't reconnect or see anything on my screen without rebooting). So, I think its probably an X11 problem (I'm using X11R7 with composite/render/damage on), and not an ssh one.
Mis-assigned stale bug.
Please retest, and reopen if needed. There have been LOTS of changes since 2005.
solved at this moment (Dec-2008). have no problem.
