3. The Embedded System (Linux 2.6) boot from Linux PC root-file system (Netboot)
4. PC/Embedded ssh connection with root user and password on Embedded Host work (Putty Ehernet consol)
5. The Embedded gdbserver Version is 7.2
6. I define a SSH connection with IP/User/Passwort for Embedded System, screen 1

Hi,

The problem happens when VisualGDB runs a temporary script that is supposed to return the Pseudo-TTY name and instead gets something that does not look like a device path. This happens because your SSHD server tries to run some commands just before executing our script. I.e. some of the initialization scripts contain a reference to /usr/bin/X11/xauth, but the file is missing due to some reason.
Note that when you connect with PuTTY, it uses the SSH shell mode, not the SSH command mode, that uses slightly different initialization scripts. Please try looking up what file could be referring to xauth and why it is missing.
