Hi,
I need to run X ... or in some way gain access to the display output on a
remote box that has neither mouse, keyboard, or console.
Is this even possible?
I've been looking at the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-xdm.html#AEN6864
But it doesn't jump out at me how I should make this work.
I've edited /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config and Xaccess to listen for the
connection, but when I run
xdm
on the remote box it fails with "No core pointer"
So I followed the limited instructions on the X wiki and added
Section ServerFlags
option "AllowMouseOpenFail"
EndSection
But now I get
Fatal error: no screens found.
Is it even possible to have the remote headless box host an X session?
thanks,
lane
