This worked for a long time but it is the first time that I need to use a remote session since more than a year ago, so it is either something introduced by an OS upgrade or by Emacs. I'll try to bisect it (which is pain because IIRC the build method changed on this timeframe plus the Emacs VC graph used to be a mess.) Some more random data points: $ emacs -nw M-: (make-frame (list '(window-system . X))) Debug entered-Lisp error: (error "Don't know how to create a frame on window system X") M-x abort-recursive-edit M-: (make-frame (list '(window-system . X) (dispay .
