I use xorg and it works well for everything local. To test it I started xorg with just xterm as the client like so:
% startx /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm In this terminal I can start a window manger such as twm and it works fine, but I can't start a window manger on a remote machine: % ssh -Xf some.machine twm twm: another window manager is already running on screen 0? twm: unable to find any unmanaged screens I can use ssh like that to start an xterm or any other xclient on another machine tho. I don't think the KDE window manger has much success either cos when that is started remotely none of the windows have borders but it doesn't complain. I can do exactly the same things on a machine using XFree86 instead and they all work fine. Do i have to tell xorg to allow remote window managers or something? or dose it have a window manger built in that I have to disable? I have found this to happen on my workstation and on the FreeSBIE CD that I am trying to use at college. Any help will be very much appreciated.
