The command I use to connect to my LTSPs from my powerbook
is:
/usr/X11R6/bin/x
-quartz -query server
this sets it up rootless and works pretty nice.
I did write a rainy Friday AppleScript that puts a front end to
the command. Having the applescript wrapper does mean you can
put it in the dock. The script is below. Just list either
ip addresses or dns names (in quotes and separated by commas) to the
list below to add /remove servers.
Xnest like Jim said would be pretty cool too and would allow
multiple connections.
Uses the rootless
X port for Darwin http://mrcla.com/XonX/ and connects to a xdm
server. I've chosen to connect to a RedHat server running
K12LTSP http://www.k12ltsp.org.
The server(s) are specified by a dialog window and the query is done with the dns name of the server.
Multiple servers can be chosen but only one server may be connected at any given time.
