I'm fairly confident that X will not work on an RS6000 machine with a GXT800P display adapter. What I do want to do is compile the X clients and send the X output to another system that is running X locally. I allowed the host in my /etc/X0.hosts file, and run xlogo to verify that I can display an X client. I tried running xdm to have a display manager answer to any XDMCP requests, after modifying /usr/pkg/etc/xorg/xdm/Xservers file and adding the entry ":0 foreign" at the end of the file. I run my X display, which is Cygwin X running under Windows 2003, by using the command "X -fullscreen -broadcast :0". Nothing honors my X request, and I look on the NetBSD box, and xdm crashed. I look at the log files, and see that xdm attempted to start X locally, complained that the file /usr/X11R6/bin/X doesn't exist, and exited. Any ideas? Many thanks for anyone's help, Tim G mailto:[email protected]
