Dear mailing list,
First of all, thanks you for the thread "X server remote login" I read
it and configured a FreeBSD as follows:
# cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install clean
# cd /usr/ports/x11/wdm && make install clean
# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/fluxbox-devel && make install clean
Then I configured according to: http://www.damnsmallbsd.org/~helio/#GUI
After that I fired up wdm, installed Xming from Sourceforge on a windows
machine, fired up XLaunch and hey presto remote FreeBSD desktop!
Now the follow-up question. How do I squeeze sound through? I want vlc
running on the FreeBSD desktop to play sound on the Xming:ed Windows
machine.
Grateful for any input on the matter.
