Subject: check whether emacs session is running under local X server
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 22:59:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m38xk5yqie.fsf@tfkp07.physik.uni-erlangen.de> (raw)
In my .emacs I would like to distinguish between an emacs session
running under the local X server and an emacs session running under
a remote X server. I expect that the $DISPLAY variable can do the
job. But I am not familiar with the details.
(Once upon a time I set $DISPLAY manually. Nowadays I use ssh which
handles $DISPLAY for me, but I do not understand the scheme it uses.)
What can I do?
Thanks,
Roland
