Hi Andrew.

I'm running Seti@Home myself.  In order to run the X version (graphics)
to work, you need the following command line:

./setiathome -graphics  ./xsetiathome

The -graphics option tells the setiathome prog to send it's output in a
format readable by the xsetiathome bit.

I also run a text-only version in another directory, i.e, two copies at
once, although the x client can only see one at a time.

Incidentally, have you tried look@seti - this enables you to see
multiple instances simultaneously - even if they are on remote
machines.  There is even an option to view a skymap showing the area
that your signals came from!

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Ozz.

Andrew,

I installed the setiathome client successfully on 2 computers this weekend.

I downloaded the binary tar which contained the main setiathome executable and
the xsetiathome executable.

Do you want any specifics pertaining to my istallation, what I did, the
display, etc? I am using Mandrake 7.1 also.

Andrew,
I never had any luck getting the X seti to work properly.
If you are looking for a graphical interpretation of seti there are a
bunch.  Check the below out, you'll probably find something you'll like.

2000-08-20 Thread bascule

i use  xsetiathome om mandrake7,
to get it to work you have to start setiathome with the option '
-graphics' (ignore quotation marks) this then allows xsetiathome to show
what setiathome is doing

You need to be running the text version in the background before you start up
the X version.
