    Dear Sir,
    
    I was successfully able to use, Remote configuration with XFree86 Ver 4. But
    if i use it with ver 3 i get error while booting the node.
    
    The last lines of /tmp/x.err is as follows:
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    HorizSync 31-35
    		   ^^
    
    Monitor section keyword expected.
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    
Should be a bug.
Try editing the file to locate the problem. You can edit
/etc/X11/XF86Config after booting and launch X from command prompt to
locate the problem.
Also, try setting those frequencies in pxesconfig.
    
    The whole thing works perfectly if i use, Xfree ver 4 while pxesconfig.  Can
    any one help me.
    
    Is it true that Remote configuration cannot be used, with ver 3.
    
You can use Remote Configuration in both versions.

    I think that is a lot better to use the monitor's manual.

    Sounds great!  I'll have to stick with 0.5.1 until then.  Don't forget to
    stop by the Gentoo booth and say hi to those guys.

    Looks like this may be the beginning of a howto or more likely a faq.
    
    Failed to open Display ":0:0" messages indicate that X can not start. This
    may 
    be because the incorrect frequency ranges have been specified or if using 
    autdetect monitor, the monitor could not be identified (and thus the 
    incorrect frequency ranges are being used). Try manually specifiying the 
    correct horizontal and vertical frequency ranges in pxesconfig. Check your 
    monitor manual for these values. As a last resort if you can't find the 
    manual and searching the internet does not help, you can try booting the
    thin 
    client using a bootable RedHat Linux installation cd (or probably other 
    distributions also) that uses a graphical installation. Once the graphical 
    installation starts (meaning that X is running), hit ctrl-alt-f2 to get a 
    command prompt. Type less /tmp/XF86Config.test, and look for the Monitor 
    section for your monitor. Write down the HorizSync and the VertRefresh
    ranges 
    so that you can use them when you run pxesconfig. Instead of booting from an
    
    install CD, you could also try booting from a hard drive that has Linux and
    X 
    installed, and then locating the values in the /etc/X11/XF86Config file
    under 
    the Monitor section.
    
    Another thing to try is to reduce the color depth and/or resolution since
    your 
    video card may not have enough memory to support 24 bit color at your 
    selected resolution.
    
    As long as you are able to run X on the hardware one way or another, you 
    should be able to run X with pxes linux, it is just a matter of getting the 
    XF86Config file set up correctly for the hardware.
    
    Please correct any errors and add to this answer as needed to make it
    suitable 
    to add to the pxes faq.
