hi,
i have a question which is annoying me.
we've got a couple of machines here for test purposes (HP).
i work on a desktop pc upstairs and i'm trying to start a remote X
session here on my linux machine (RH 7.2)
i added the machine in question to the xhost list and tried X -query
hostip :1
this works for some other machine (i.e. by broadcast) but for some
reason doesn't work for the machine i want! messages are along the lines
of :
(II) I810(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (unknown reason) (II)
I810(0): Not using default mode "1280x960" (bad mode
clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) I810(0): Not using default mode
"1280x1024" (hsync out of range) (II) I810(0): Not using default mode
"1280x1024" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan)
and so on and so on for all resolutions.
so i tried the other approach - telnet to the machine, and set DISPLAY
to my desktop PC's ip.
i can get sam and xterm to pop up on my desktop! great! (i thought)
when i try X i get : X server: Error in /etc/X11/X0screens (line 612)
Device name invalid or missing after keyword "Screen".
X server: Will try default "/dev/crt" Failure to open default device
file `/dev/crt`. Please either specify the proper device filename in
your /etc/X11/X0screens file or fix `/dev/crt`. This filename is either
non-existent or is not a character special file.
Fatal server error:
Now, the entry in the etc/X11/X0screens file is :
Screen /dev/crt
and no, /dev/crt doesn't exist. i tried /dev/tty and /dev/dtremote and
no difference.
has anyone had this problem or knows of a solution? any help greatly
appreciated!!
there is a quick solution which is to reboot into windows and do it from
there but that will be admiting defeat!!
thanks for any help in advance
-Paulo
