If you need the whole desktop, this is the best way. Just use what's built into X already. :)
If you just need a window, and a single application, then, as others have pointed out, telnet, and export your display. It just depends on what you want to do.
As to the X crash... I haven't seen that one. Sorry. You might want to take that to the XFree folks. It could be a problem with your specific X driver.

the below seems to work, but there seems to be some instability in rh
8.0. When switching from the x session to one of the console
(<ctrl><alt> F1), the x session dies, the console then closes and the x
login screen is displayed. Has anyone had this problem? I have tried
on one older rh 7.2 and did not have the problem on that machine.
thanks rick

Sorry I didn't see this earlier.
This is a really easy matter, but it's mostly unknown (not too many people use it).
From console on the local machine ( <ctrl><alt><F1> )
Log in as root.
Issue:
X -query <remote hostname> -once :1
That will fire up an X session from the remote machine, on your local display. You'll get the login banner from the remote machine. Just log in as usual.
You can do that up to 6 times.
The extra X sessions are numbered:
:0 = <ctrl><alt><F7> (default)
:1 = <ctrl><alt><F8>
:2 = <ctrl><alt><F9>
etc.
You can do that to ANY flavor of Unix box. I frequently have my Linux Box X Queried into a couple of AIX servers. And I just <ctrl><alt><Fx> around to them.
NOTE: You may need to enable xdm (kdm, gdm... which ever) to accept Queries, on the remote box. I believe it's disabled by default.
Have fun!

I have installed rh 8.0 on my machine in place of w2k. I now use rdp to connect when needed. Now what I want to do is to startkde from another one of our other servers.I run xhost servername telnet to the server, login and run startkde. It looks like the x from the new server takes overs the window managers. How would I start the new one on like <ctrl><alt><f8> Thanks Rick Henderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] (936) 291-5356-- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
