I don't think you'll be able to do this just from telnet. Use X in query mode as: On server: 1. Enable XDMCP (editing /etc/X11/xdm/xdm.conf or gdm.conf, whichever applicable) 2. restart GDM/XDM/KDM as applicable
One client: 1. stop your own Xwindow, using init 3 2. Log into the console, and type "X -query <ip of the server>". This would open a X Session to the server and you'll abe to login and run any X app. Using this method, one gets a whole alternate X Window session (right from the login screen) and not just one app from the server, I am not sure how to get that. There are some how to's that may help. -js $ -----Original Message----- $ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ g] On Behalf Of Lalit Kumar Bhasin $ Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 12:21 PM $ To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ Subject: [ilugd] unable to export display ?? $ $ $ $ Hi all, $ I am using redhat 8 ( linux 2.4).
