Hi Bill,
You need to have an X server running on the machine where you want
to view the output (that is the server, not the other way round). The X
client is where the program is running. The client must be authorised to
connect to the server to display the output (on the server). So you have
to startx on the machine where you want to view the output. The client (ie
where the program actually runs) need not have X configured. So you can
view the output of another (linux) machine on your configured KDE desktop
(after proper authentication).
If you want to see the output on a WIN machine use MIX or VNC. MIX
is free. I have never used either and don't know where to get them. Both
these are X servers for windows to see output of Xclients.
If you want to see the output on another Linux machine, do this:
startx
(open a terminal)
xauth list $DISPLAY (you should see a huge MIT magic cookie code)
telnet (your_Xclient)
xauth add $DISPLAY . (copy the huge code here)
Now run your programs in the terminal and see the output on the
server screen. (remember to background your jobs to keep the shell free to
accept commands (put an ' &' after each command)).
Best wishes,
Indraneel
