Change your inittab:
<x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
>x:5:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/X -query 192.168.0.254
If you want, you can change it this way, instead:
<x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
>rx:4:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/X -query 192.168.0.254
>lx:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
This runs rx ("Remote X") in runlevel 4, and lx ("Local X") in runlevel
5. I did this so that I could take my laptop with me when I'm out of
the office. If you do this, don't forget to consider security issues;
in the office, you have a firewall protecting your LAN, but out of the
office you have to assume that everything connected to your network is
bad.
