Well, stock X will probably work. I have used that in the past on a per-program basis. You know, the 'DISPLAY=host:0.0 program ...' routine. I'm sorry that my little question lacked enough detail to avoid all this confusion. On the other hand, it sparked an interssting debate. :) The enironment is LAN. The reason that I forgot to mention stock X, is that vnc (which I'm partial to, since that's what I have been using) is so much easier to use: a) it gives me a complete X desktop which is separate from the X desktop I use when I log in locally. This means I can tailor the remote desktop to another wm, another display size and so on. You could probably do this by customizing ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession. I agree it would not be the easiest thing to do, though b) it allows me to run the display in a web browser (java required) This seems to be a good reason to use VNC. Yeah, but take a look at: http://www.jcraft.com/weirdx/ It's a pure java based GPL'd XServer. Can be run as an applet too. I'm in no way affiliated with them, but I must admit it's quite cool. My users use ThinBSD based thin clients to connect to a FreeBSD/amd64 server. And on the server you run xdm or something like that? I run xdm, yes. Since I do not like the official way to launch it from /etc/ttys, I made a port which provides a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d : http://www.thinbsd.org/cvsweb/ThinBSD/ports/xdm-rc/ WierdX claims to support XDMCP, altough I never tried it myself.

Thanks to your reply, I did re-read #KERNEL-PANIC-TROUBLESHOOTING more carefully and I did try the following.

Try to run nm on /boot/kernel/kernel. Any ideas on that? The reason I did not try that first was I mistakenly thought I had to first capture the crash dump for some reason. You can get much much more information about what went wrong from a crash dump, so try to capture one if you can. Oh, and build a debug kernel, if you didn't do it before. A crash dump can be pretty useless without one.
