I've bought a shiny new htpc that I was hoping would just work with |
| 2 |
Linux. |

Sadly it doesn't. |

Before I post a long and rambling diatribe, does anyone know how to |
| 7 |
run xrandr remotely (since I just get a blank screen on the hdtv)? |

I tried over tunnelled ssh and just got the local (my laptop's) X server's settings, |
| 10 |
and then tried using the -display flag like so: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
# /etc/init.d/xdm start |
| 14 |
* Setting up gdm ... |
| 15 |
* Detaching to start `/usr/bin/gdm' ... |
| 16 |
# xrandr -display :0 |
| 17 |
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server |
| 18 |
Xlib: No protocol specified |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Can't open display :0 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I'm guessing this requires me to somehow open access to the X server. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I set 'DisallowTCP=false' in /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf in the [security] section and restarted gdm but that didn't seem to do anything. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
What else can I try to get xrandr to let me change the resolution for a xserver that can't be seen? |
| 28 |

Thanks. |
