Open a window on a remote X display (why “Cannot open display”)?
I'd like to ssh to a host running an X server and use xrandr to query and update things related to that host's display. I don't forward X connections (no -X), but xrandr keeps saying it can't find the display. Invoked locally on that host, xrandr works as intended.
How do I make xrandr ignore the fact that I'm logged in remotely, and just operate on the host on which it is running?
