The client programs will need $DISPLAY in their environment set to the appropriate value, usually something like the server host name followed by ":0.0" (or many clients will take a "-display" command-line argument). BTW, you are aware that under the X protocols, the "server" is the one that provides display, keyboard and mouse services and the clients are the programs (possibly on remote hosts) that use those services. I.e., the server host is the one that you sit in front of. But you knew that. -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
