RE: [Newbie]trembly screen
My particular laptop isn't there, but it's a good place to start looking. And if i sort it out i might even contribute :-) Thanks ! -- From: Lionel Lecoq [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 November 2002 17:46 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Newbie]trembly screen Usually, laptops *like* best the resolution they have been designed for, any other resolution is going to be obtained by interpolation and will not yield a good image... Whether this is the ground for your problem, I don't know.

The trouble is, i still haven't found ANY doc about the frequencies of my LCD monitor, and the image is trembling. What does that mean ? Do you have any advice at how to find the right frequencies ? Is it something else ? Also the definition right now is not what i specified in XF86Config-4 : 1024x780 (or something), but the one higher up. Is there another config file to take into account ?

[Newbie]Using an X server remotely.
I am currently doing a project on an embedded single-board computer (586 based). It has 64MB RAM, 4GB HDD, a serial port and a ethernet port. Note it has no direct hardware support for a monitor, mouse, keyboard etc. The source code for the project is stored locally on the HDD and is compiled locally using GCC 3.2.7. No problem. I have installed Redhat 7.2 and currently develop code by 'telnet'ing in and using vi to edit the source code. Yuk. I have recently installed cygwin on my 'normal' desktop PC (Windows XP on Athlon 1500) and would like to start X on the target embedded computer. That way I can develop on my desktop PC using the cygwin X-client and use emacs instead. When I telnet into the embedded computer and run 'startx' I get Fatal server error : fs86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such device) Yet /dev/tty0 does exist ! It is mapped to the local serial port and works fine. I have a bash shell running on it ! I did remember to edit my startx script so that xinit is being called as follows : xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- :192.168.1.3:0 -auth /root/.Xauthority How can I get X to start without needing a local console ? I would like all I/O to be directed to my Windows PC and not to local hardware. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Newbie]Using an X server remotely.
Ian: You do not need to start X on the host. If Cygwin supports XDM then you need to make sure one of (xdm or kdm or gdm) is running on the host and configured to allow remote logins. If you can not use XDM then you can project X clients on the Cygwin machine. The host machine must have the Cygwin/Display machine in it's /etc/hosts table, in it's /etc/hosts.allow file. Then you can telnet into the host and set the DISPLAY environment variable and launch your X applications. For example: telnet host.ipaddr DISPLAY= display.ipaddr:0.0 export DISPLAY xterm xedit Ed. --- --- At 02:01 PM 11/22/2002 +, you wrote: I am currently doing a project on an embedded single-board computer (586 based).

If you were using Red Hat 8.0 then you CAN'T have been using Xconfigurator because it doesn't exist in the distribution. The appropriate tool is redhat-config-xfree86. You need to read the release-notes and the manuals included in your distribution. snip All the rest of your questions are inappropriate for this mailing list which deals with XFree86 configuration problems also.
