If you are starting X from a gdm session make sure you check the line in your gdm.conf that starts your X server. If it has -nolisten tcp in it you will not be able to start a remote X session. If you are trying to use ssh make sure that the server has xforwarding turned on and the client either needs it turned on in the config or you need to use the -X option. Also a -C (compression) option will help if you are going over the internet. hope this helps some. -Bill On Fri, 2003-07-25 at 09:50, Craig White wrote: -- Bill Warner Direct Alliance
