Do you mean that you want to use the Windows RDP protocol to provide access to
a Linux GUI?  If so, you are unlikely to find a good guide; the only option I
know of at all is xrdp[1], and I don't have any reports of success from it.

Otherwise, you probably want to clarify what you are trying to do.

Further to this, your Windows XP box will have shipped with the server 
software to make this work. Look at the remote tab in the System control 
panel.

rdesktop rocks, sound even works.

simple approach  tightvnc.org  Install a server on the Windows machine
and access from Linux.

Another approach is rdesktop which is a true remote desktop, two
separate environments for screen and remote connection.

RE: [SLUG] Remote desktop

[Andrew McNaughton]

Hmm.  Well, a dedicated X terminal probably is better at running X than
running vnc.

I'm not sure shortage of resources is a big issue though.  VNC runs just
fine on Palm Pilots and the like.  9 bit colour will significantly reduce
the ammount of memory it requires too.

The xterm can be started with:

X -broadcast
X -query ipaddress

The first goes looking for an xdm machine that is broadcasting it's presence,  the 
second just connects straight to that machine.   The machine you are connecting 
to has xdm,  gdm or kdm running not the xterm itself.   broadcast is an extra
(xkg)dm option that should not be turned on by default.

Put the chooser on a main machine if you want,  not on the client xterm.  If you 
want to select from multiple machines then there is a couple of ways to set that 
up.   If you want I can look up the notes from Granville TAFE,   lcdp.sf.net.

I use dtsession from AIX all the time:

X -query aix

I then get to sign onto the AIX machine.   It looses a lot of functionality and things 
just don't really work well.

RE: [SLUG] Remote desktop

Hi all,

Remember I did say "not using VNC" - this is because VNC cannot be loaded
onto the X terminal.
Not enough resources, shall we say (9 bit colour, 32 MB RAM). So VNC is not
an option.

I gather that you have to run xdm before you run X11 on the X terminal, and
let it start X with a chooser. That aspect isn't clear from the
documentation.
I will experiment a little at home some more.

Just out of curiosity I tried running a Solaris dtsession redisplayed to a
Red Hat Linux X session but it was not entirely satisfactory -- running the
individual applications was better as Gnome positions things better when it
has full control of the desktop (funny bout that).

you might also specify encodings when doing this.. as when vnc sees

Right.  Pass port 5901 through for display remotehost:1, 5902 for :2, and
so forth.

ssh -L5901:remotehost:5901 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

then make a vnc connection to localhost:1 and you get the vnc server
running on display :1 on the remote host.

Re: [SLUG] Remote desktop

X -query suseBox

Set up susebox to do GDM or KDM. Then you will be running thin X and so 
using the processor on the other linux system which sounds faster. GDM 
has a nice setup tool for this gdmsetup I believe. I thanked the maker 
when I discovered it as X is a steam pile of poo.

Hi all,

I presume you have to do something like ssh into the SuSe thing with 
some parameter to say where to put the display?
(Other than using VNC).
I can of course run any individual X application and display it on the 
X terminal but what about the desktop app itself?
