ok this has been bugging me. why cant i use my indy/debian as a remote client to my i386/debian?
i tried xhost +<machine name> and setting DISPLAY etc. i read the 'remote X apps mini-howto' and played around with magic cookies. no joy. i still get err 111 when trying to run remote apps. however, if i use ssh -X to turn on X forwarding it works fine albeit with some overhead. in the howto it mentions that debian systems often start X in some sort of safe mode (i assume this means with the -nolisten option) and it says to look at /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc which of course doesnt exist. i poked around the /etc/X11 directories for a while but didnt find what i was looking for. i tried the debian documentation but again no joy. i know this isnt strictly the correct list but it does involve debian/mips because i want to run a i386 browser on my indy desktop. TIA GREG
