I wasn't paying attention;-( I'm running RHL 7.3, KDE & KDM. You need to configure the xDM on the host system to allow XDMP connnections. On my system, it's "numbat." I don't have the docs to hand, so here's what I think I did on numbat: In directory /etc/X11/xdm To xdm-config add this line: DisplayManager._1.authorize: true I may have changed kdmrc, but nothing stands out. I think in Xaccess this line was a comment. It's not now. In a serious environment you may want to be more selective;-) * #any host can get a login window I also have this line uncommented: * CHOOSER BROADCAST #any indirect host can get a chooser My Xservers file reads [summer@numbat xdm]$ cat Xservers # $Xorg: Xserv.ws.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:17 cpqbld Exp $ # # Xservers file, workstation prototype # # This file should contain an entry to start the server on the # local display; if you have more than one display (not screen), # you can add entries to the list (one per line). If you also # have some X terminals connected which do not support XDMCP, # you can add them here as well. Each X terminal line should # look like: # XTerminalName:0 foreign # :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X wombat:2 foreign /usr/X11R6/bin/X [summer@numbat xdm]$ host wombat wombat.computerdatasafe.com.au has address 192.168.1.102 [summer@numbat xdm]$ As Wombat's not actually connected to the LAN at present I guess that's irrelevant. On the guest, you /usr/X11R6/bin/X -query numbat:1 and you will get an xDM login screen. In my case, it's all real (IA32) machines on a real LAN, but a virtual zSeries should work as well. > > Mark Post > > -----Original Message----- > From: ken dreger [mailto:ken@;dreger.com] > Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 5:28 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: display issue > > >Ok, I have SLES7 up and running on my P II 400 mgz system under > > Hercules..... > > I want to export the x-window display back to the system that is the > "Base System" for Hercules.... my base system 192.168.1.4 > the SLES7(GUEST) ip is 192.168.1.10 and is running GREAT, but I want to > try X-Windows stuff for grins...
