Raspbian - Putty(Windows) Interface. X-Display doesn't work with root user

0

I can transfer display with Xming and Putty successfully with my user "pi" but not with the "root" user. It gives me the error:

PuTTY X11 proxy: Unsupported authorisation protocol

Any ideas what it could be?

For me this was fixed adding the following to my users ~/.ssh/config file:

ForwardX11 yes
ForwardX11Trusted yes

After this i also had to copy the xauth from my user to the root user like described here to get rid of the Authorisation not recognised

root login is intentionally disabled by default.

You should login as pi and sudo to do root tasks. See the raspbian FAQ for more information.
