RE: [Cooker] EXporting - importing X-window

2000-08-03 Thread Thomas Smets



But then I gess I need to go in the initlevel system & stop it booting
straight onto X.
Or can I also let X start & then take another shell (via CTRL + ALT + Fkey)
to get it right ?

Thomas,

if your network connection is fast enough (e.g. LAN and not the internet)
the good thing to me is to :

1. start X on your mdk box without a window manager ("xinit" should work)

2. issue "xhost +solaris_machine_name"

3. distantly log on the solaris machine

4. configure the display if necessary (e.g. if telnet or if ssh badly
configured) : "export DISPLAY=mdk_machine:0" ; test it with "xeyes".

5. then run the window manager (you can compile icewm for solaris it works
nice).

[Cooker] EXporting - importing X-window

2000-08-01 Thread Thomas Smets


Could some one tell me how to "import" another unix system x-windows ?
I'd like to use a solaris from MDK but don't know how to import / export the
X-window to & from ?

Tx,

Thomas,
