RE: Xwindow from win95?
Hi, How can I connect MI/X from Win95 to my linux box? In the FAQ MI/X provided it says telnet to linux box and change the display environment. I telnet to my linux box, but there's no environment variable called DISPLAY. OK, now I set DISPLAY to my_win95_ip:0.0, but nothing happens. Or, on linux there's a different environment variable? 'cause on that FAQ it is for Solaris. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

It's free. I second that. MI/X is a nice, free X server for Win32. I've been running it under both Win95 and WinNT with no problems. Also, if you directly run the server (XS.EXE) instead of the default startup stub (TNTSTART.EXE), it starts without the local TWM manager, and you can fire up your own WM from the Linux machine.

Re: Xwindow from win95?
How can I connect MI/X from Win95 to my linux box? In the FAQ MI/X provided it says telnet to linux box and change the display environment. Right. The DISPLAY variable is used by X applications to determine what display to get i/o from. Here's my two scenarios: 1. Using M/IX's local window manager On Win32 machine, run TNTSTART.EXE On Linux machine (locally or via telnet, doesn't matter), run this script #!/bin/bash #(replace xx.xx.xx.xx with the Win32 machine's IP address, or name if DNS or HOSTS is working) export DISPLAY=xx.xx.xx.xx:0.0 # (now fire up X apps that you want running on Win32 screen) xterm xclock 2. Using another window manager On Win32 machine, run XS.EXE On Linux machine, run a (quite similar) script: #!/bin/bash export DISPLAY=xx.xx.xx.xx:0.0 xterm xclock fvwm Some window managers don't like this (I haven't gotten icewm working this way yet), and you come up with some funky issues concerning fonts with some applications, but by and large it's a nice solution, especially for free.

RE: Xwindow from win95?
Yeah it works. I think I forgot to export the variable. That's way I got nothing. Thanks a lot Jim.

I'm not entirely sure that I know what it means to xwindow, but I'll assume you mean create an entire Xwindows environment, not just telnet, or something like that. I have used an Xwindows emulator called xwin32 that seemed pretty good. Last I checked, it was not free, but they had a free crippled version that would run for 2 hours at a time and would only allow one use at a time per network.

Check out http://www.starnet.com/ The best one I've seen is eXceed from Hummingbird. It works quite well. Under NT you can get OpenNT with an X server. That works nicely too. -- Stuart Krivis[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

http://www.microimages.com/freestuf/mix/ ``MI/X works fine as an X terminal emulator. You may also want to make your PC a true X Server and run multiple X clients from your desktop.'' Last time I looked at it, it ran under Win95. It looked like a win95 window with a twm window manager and all the X applications. Works.

Is there any program that people know of that will allow my to xwindow to my debian box from my win95 machine? Thanks. there's also VNC (Virtual Network Computing) that allow what you need,the main feature is that it doesn't store any state information (it is basically stateless like NC),the way it work is that both X and the X server run on the linux machine and the win95 machine use only a graphic displaying program,it allow you to keep your session while working on different computer,it's released under the GPL,but i think it's only available on hamm (or maybe slink),you can have a look at it at: http://www.orl.co.uk/ ,it's quite impressive.

Re: Xwindow from win95?
i forgot to say that the graphic display program run on X,on win95/NT and on java. Alain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
