Re: [XFree86] Black screen when running X
When I try it with the startx command, the screen flash and give me this output. startx -- :1 -query sunbox Yeah, it'll do that. "X -query host" is actually the correct usage, the guy who responded to your post misunderstood what you were trying to do. In an XDMCP query like you're doing, you don't want any local programs trying to connect to the X server, it automatically gets a session from a remote host using an XDMCP request. So startx gets confused, and when all connections to the X server are rejected it probably kills the X server. See if you have any luck with the suggestions I made in my last mail on this - check out the xdmcp setup on the sun box and make sure the networking is going ok. Of course, if you know that both of these are fine, and there's nothing in the logs on the sun box, that's pretty weird.

Re: [XFree86] Black screen when running X
I'm running RH9 (Dell Latitude C800) trying to connect to Solaris 9(Ultra 10) system through X. command from linux box to the sun box. X :1 -query sunbox problem: all I get is a black screen and a cursor. I'd say your XDMCP server on your Sun box is not listening to requests, rejecting requests from that host, or perhaps there are network issues. RH9 uses a black background by default on XFree86 instead of the stippled grey you're probably used to, so if you get a black background and cursor then your X server is loading fine. Make sure you can ping the target host, and check the remote host's logs for indications of rejected connections. Most likely this is more of a remote host connectivity/configuration issue than an XFree86 issue. I've used XDMCP queries from RH9 to SCO OpenServer, so I can confirm that XFree's XDMCP querying is at least somewhat well behaved. Hell, it'll deal with OpenServer 'luck Craig Ringer I'm not familiar with the "-query" switch. But a black screen and cursor is all you're expected to get when you run "X". I think you want "startx -- :1" It runs an XDMCP query - the easy way of getting a remote graphical login screen. Commonly used by thin clients etc, to make the X server behave like an old-style xterm. Craig Ringer ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
