The more obvious way would be configuring DECWindows, then connecting to it via xdmcp. There's a few apps that can do this on Linux - Xnest and Xephyr are the ones that come to mind.
With Xnest, you just do $ Xnest -query my.vax.somedomain :1 And poof, instant (windowed) VAX loginscreen, if it's properly configured on VMS side. I *think* I had to use Xephyr to run fullscreen and with reduced security though, when I connected to my VMS desktop. Or maybe I'm just mis-interpreting what you're trying to do :-) Lennert On Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 08:43:29PM -0700, [email protected] wrote: > Does anyone know of a cookbook for getting DECWindows (on SIMH) and XDM > (on Debian) working?
