if this chroot is on the same (X)server, you can mount /tmp/.X11-unix via nullfs(8) to chroot.
If it's a remote server, it should work via SSH X11Forwarding, mandatory options in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (server side):

1)

Code:

X11Forwarding=yes
X11UseLocalhost=no

2) install xauth (in chroot)
3) from client:

Code:

ssh -Y <HOST>
auth add $(xauth -f ~/.Xauthority list | tail -1 )

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I entered the ip address for <HOST>: 192.168.0.22 taken from ifconfig -a from the FreeBSD system. Then it asks for a password for the local machine: schroter1@SCHROTER.FreeBSD.local. (schroter1 is the ubuntu user) However, I have not set a password for the FreeBSD login. Just enter username at it logs in. I typed my root password as well, to no aval. Would you be able to help me in this matter please?
Thanks & Best Regards
