" From: "Terje J. Hanssen" <[email protected]> " " Hi list, " " I have some good old stuff I wish to access on a remote, networked sun4m " Solaris 2.5 machine, previous a local CAD workstation using CDE 1.0.1 " and X11R5. I'm able to access both individual Xapplications and the CDE " login screen and get them displayed on my local Suse Linux workstation. " But the CDE fonts are missing. " " When I add -fp to the direct query to the remote Solaris X font server " 'fs', a time stamp becomes visible a long time on the black screen, " before it returns to a X cursor on a black screen. That is no CDE login " screen at all on the Linux side. I use this command from the Linux console: " " X :1 -query CDE_host -fp tcp/CDE_login_host:7100 " " Maybe it is on the Linux client host I miss some configuration to " receive the CDE fonts. " What I've done so far is to add this line in the local " /etc/X11/xorg.conf on top of the section Files: " " FontPath "tcp/CDE_login_host:7100" " " Anyone here that has had success with or know how to access remote " Solaris CDE fonts, which are located in /usr/dt/config/xfonts/C on " Solaris ? Other possibilites might be nfs mounting this font dir or copy " it to the Linux file sstem, if they can be enabled such way. i'm trying to remember if the fontserver is on by default in solaris, or off. certainly you'll have problems if it isn't running... :^/ ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen [email protected] and think what none thought
