Use XFree86 on W98 to connect to AIX (WAS: Use XFree86 on W98 to connect to Linux)

2003-01-17 Thread Bj:o)rn Wolf (CN-IT-BF)
If I try the ssh method to connect to an AIX machine (instead of a Linux
box), 
everything seems to work fine, I even can open an xterm to display on my
local 
XFree86 window.

Unfortunately, none of the remote X applications does accept any 
keyboard input.

Any help or hint is very much appreciated

 Frank,
 
 You can use XDMCP for a remote session:

 Or, you can launch individual clients with SSH (or you can even start a
 remote window manager which makes this very similar to XDMCP, including
 KDE... by using, for example, startkde):

 I hope that helps,
