The chooser works when you issue an indirect query: X -indirect <hostname> :1 You also need to modify /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess or /etc/X11/kdm/Xaccess (depending on the dist.) to allow indirect and direct queries and enable the chooser. This must be done on all hosts which you would like to remotely access. * <--- For direct/broadcast queries (allow ALL hosts) * CHOOSER BROADCAST <-- For indirect queries (allow ALL hosts) Also, make sure you do not have a line in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config or /etc/X11/kdm/xdm-config which reads: DisplayManager.*.authorize: true Either remove this line or change it to false. Setting this to false will allow hosts to connect to any display, other than :0. MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authentication is disabled. Broadcasts are sent out on the network when the X Display Manager is loaded. In turn, each host contains a dynamic list of all available hosts. An indirect query to ANY host allowing indirect queries, even localhost, will display all currently available X clients in the chooser. The Xservers config file only starts local X servers and is not used for remote client connections. Scott
