Hello, I was little unhappy with Xnest and I wanted to take some screenshots of dtlogin with a forthcoming FreeBSD branding.
Here's how I got a fully working environment (including proper fonts): 1) I set up xfs (X font server) to serve all fonts I have. I started it to listen on TCP port 7100 (the default). 2) I have created /etc/dt/config/Xservers file with the following line: :1 Local local@console /usr/bin/env DISPLAY=:0 /usr/local/bin/Xephyr :1 -screen 1024x768 -fp tcp/localhost:7100 3) Allow all applications and all hosts to access your primary display :0 This is very insecure (allows remote sniffing of your keyboard for example) xhost + 4) I opened another terminal, switched to root there and started dtlogin as usual: /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -nodaemon After a while a 1024x768 window should pop up with the dtlogin greeting screen. Troubleshooting: check /var/dt/Xerrors file. "Server died" usually means wrong command line options are specified to Xephyr in the Xservers file. Possible improvements: - It should be possible to specify full font server path in the -fp argument to Xephyr. In this case it is not necessary at all to use the font server - It is possible to prepare authentication tokens ($HOME/.Xauthority) so that doing "xhost +" is not necesary. //Marcin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
