RE: [XFree86] Newbie question - Using XFree86 with no graphics or monitor
By Hummingbird, you mean 'Reflections', ie an Xserver on a PC? Its important to remember that the bit that displays everything, even though its the remote end that you're sitting at, is the _server_. The machine hosting the xterm/openoffice/gnome session and sending it to you is the _client_. You shouldn't have any/many problems with that: start your Reflections session, telnet in, export your display (export DISPLAY=PC IP address:0) and run the appropriate Xclient. If you're using another unix box instead of reflections, dont forget to 'xhost + suse host' on it to allow the client to use the display. If you're feeling cheeky, run Xnest and start Gnome inside it, to get that 'computer in a window' feel ;) -Oli = Original Message From Yann E.

Yes, of course you can install and run Xnest. Try 'man 1 Xnest'. If you have vnc running on the system where our hummingbird server is located you can also use Xvnc.
