I wasn't aware they had done that. GMail separated them into different |
23 |
threads here. Thanks for catching up with my question. |

Thanks for the info on the screen resolution. |

OK, there is possibly a little extra difficulty to get this run, but |
28 |
it's likely just ssh stuff or possibly not enabling something in X11. |

1) I first ssh into my dad's Gentoo machine. When I try to run the |
31 |
command through the ssh tunnel I get this: |
32 |
|
33 |
gandalf ~ # xdpyinfo -display :0.0 |
34 |
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server |
35 |
Xlib: Protocol not supported by server |
36 |
|
37 |
xdpyinfo: unable to open display ":0.0". |
38 |
gandalf ~ # |
39 |
|
40 |
I then ssh into my mom's Gentoo machine |
41 |
|
42 |
gandalf ~ # !ssh |
43 |
ssh DesertFlower |

Right now no one is logged into either machine. Both are presumably |
54 |
sitting with gdm login screens. |
