E.g. using ldm (over ssh)...? The secure tunnel can be disabled with some kind of DIRECTX parameter, or you can try a simple 'X :9 -query $ltsp_server' command from text console (vt1, e.g.), but in the latter case, you have to enable remote connections and gdm/xdm/... installed on the $ltsp_server. -- Zsolt ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
