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). -----Original Message----- From: Dave Airlie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 22 July 2003 2:12 PM To: Andrew McNaughton Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Binh Nguyen Subject: Re: [SLUG] Remote desktop > Right.
