Re: [xfree] Re: Cygwin XFre86 - Redhat XDM login
Hi all, I must not have been doing a 'kill -1' on the right process. Rebooting the RH server got the login screen coming up. But now, it exits back to the login screen when I try to login. I am getting a 'Can't open display' message in my RH account ~/.xsession-errors file. I am now looking at the recent XDMCP thread. I am very close now. There seems to be a xhost command missing somewhere. Thanks, Steven On Mon, 18 Nov 2002, Papa Fox wrote: Have you enabled XDMCP over internet? Depending on whether you are running XDM, KDM or GDM, check /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config Comment out the appropriate line /etc/X11/xdm/kdmrcSet Enable=true for [Xdmcp] /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf You may also have to alter you firewall rules to allow UDP packets to port 177.

I have been trying to figure this out off and on for months. However, I can not figure out how to run an XFree86 session under Cygwin on my WinXP Pro system to get a login session on my RH 7.1 system. I have played with the files in /etc/X11/xdm on the RH system. I played with XWin, xinit, and startx with -queue host and -broadcast options under cygwin. All I get on the Cygwin side is no X11 window at all or a blank checkered default pattern X11 window. I do not seem to be getting any error messages besides Giving up. I've been dealing with X11 for over 10 yers. But this XFree86 stuff is causing me to pull out my hair! BTW, XDM is running fine on the RH box and Gnome comes up just fine. I just don't keep a monitor attached to the system and the system is in another room. Any help to figure out what I am doing wrong will be really appreciated. Thanks!

Re: [xfree] Fwd: Re: XDMCP
Have you modified Cygwin's /etc/hsots.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files? I'm trying this but no go yet.

If I then connect via the VPN to my work's intranet, and then run XWin *with* the -query option, xhost now hangs... argh! I think I'm *very* close to having this work. I just need to convince X to allow my work machine to connect back to my home machine.. Dave I'm seeing the following in /tmp/XWin.log AUDIT: Mon Nov 18 22:22:19 2002: 5924 XWin: client 1 rejected from IP WORKMACHINEIP port 3468 I get a bunch of the above messages in my XWin.log. Sounds like we're both having problems with convincing the X server that we do, in fact, want to allow connections from the work machine. I tried using xhost, but it just hangs if I run it while my X server is running (with the -query option). Anyone know how else I can tell my X server to trust a remote host?

XFree and Win share desktop
Hi all, I'm really glad to see XFree86 for Cygwin! But I wonder if there is there a way to get XFree86 and Windows XP to share the same desktop like you can do with Hummingbird eXceed? I don't like for XFree86 to take over my whole screen. I'd like to be able to see my XP programs and the X clients at the same time. I don't want XFree86 to overwrite my current background either. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks, Steven
