XFree86ers,
I might be missing something simple. Here is my scenario:
Hardware IBM RS/6000 7043-150 workstation
Software SUSE SLES 8.0
XFree86 Version 4.2.0
The graphics card I was using was not supported so I removed it before
doing the SuSe install. I wanted to know if I can just
get the server portion up and then export my display to a hummingbird
client on another system??
Once it was up I went in and did a
ln -s /usr/X11/bin/XFree86 /usr/X11/bin/X
to select the binary. I then went through the xf86config and tried to pick
generic goodies. This is /etc/X11/XF86Config

# Uncomment this to cause a core dump at the spot where a signal is
# received. This may leave the console in an unusable state, but may
# provide a better stack trace in the core dump to aid in debugging
#Option NoTrapSignals
# Uncomment this to disable the CrtlAltBS server abort sequence
# This allows clients to receive this key event.
#Option DontZap
# Uncomment this to disable the CrtlAltKP_+/KP_- mode switching
# sequences. This allows clients to receive these key events.
#Option Dont Zoom
# Uncomment this to disable tuning with the xvidtune client. With
# it the client can still run and fetch card and monitor attributes,
# but it will not be allowed to change them. If it tries it will
# receive a protocol error.
#Option DisableVidModeExtension
# Uncomment this to enable the use of a non-local xvidtune client.
#Option AllowNonLocalXvidtune
# Uncomment this to disable dynamically modifying the input device
# (mouse and keyboard) settings.
#Option DisableModInDev

# change the keyboard or mouse settings (currently only xset).
