I've read the spots off everything I can find about getting X going, and I
have it all up and running sort of.
But only sort of.
I have X-Win32 trialling on a laptop, and want to be able to connect to the
Xserver - but I just can't seem to do it.
To give you a run down.
I have X working.
I have KDE working.
I have the /etc/ttys entry set to:
ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure
.. (I note that kdm is much prettier, and appears to work Just as well)
I have the entry in xdm-config commented out.
! DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
/root/.xinitrc contains "exec startkde"
Ok.
Using 'xdm' , booting brings up an oversize font LOGIN -PASSWORD display.
Very ugly. (kdm looks nicer, but I'm following the manual)
Neither xdm or kdm, let me log in as root.
I have to go Ctl+alt+F1 to get to the good old terminal window.
Now, the main problem is .. Which is a real pain, as I do need to connect to
this thing remotely.
I can't connect from the remote laptop's X-Win32 program xterm emulator
program.
Has anyone managed to get any remote, xterm emulators going? And how so?
Thanks if you can help - I'm almost there.
