Easiest way to just access individual applications (as opposed to the full desktop): ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] application That launches the X application on your terminal You have to allow X forwarding on the server though (set "X11Forwarding yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and make sure the connecting host is allowed on the server in /etc/hosts.allow) To log into your desktop via XDMCP (remote X login), read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToCygwinX?highlight=%28remote%29%7C%28X%29%7C%28session%29 > Q2. when i put a preinstalled ubuntu linux hard drive into my win98 pc, > X goes into a panic and i get back to the command line login.

Sounds like X is probably trying an unsuitable graphic driver - has the preconfiguration been done with the same type of graphic card? sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will reconfigure your graphic card driver Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
