Hi all, |
2 |
I'm in the process of setting up a linux box as my desktop machine. |
3 |
I've got X up and running, am about to do the kde install, but have a |
4 |
question regarding "remote" X windows. |
5 |
|
6 |
I have the situation where I have to connect to a remote, it's still in |
7 |
my office but X will be running across the network, Sun server so that I |
8 |
can run a CAD system. In the past I've done this from Windows using |
9 |
telnet and an X emulator, exporting the DISPLAY variable etc, but now I |
10 |
want to be able to do this from the linux box. I've tried what I've done |
11 |
under Windows in the past but the Sun machine can't find my X server, |
12 |
even though I'm in a graphical X window when I type the commands to |
13 |
initiate the remote X session. |
14 |
|
15 |
My question is, is there anything "special" that I have to do so that |
16 |
the linux X server is listening to "the outside world" so that the Sun |
17 |
box can create the connection and get X displaying on my linux box? It |
18 |
wouldn't surprise me if I've got something wrong, it's midnight and I've |
19 |
already had way too much chocolate, but I thought I would post this |
20 |
question before I go to bed in the hope that someone might have an insight. |
21 |

22 |
Any thoughts on this greatly appreciated, |
23 |
