Running X Over The Network
« on: March 30, 2006, 12:42:42 am »
The other day I came across a post from someone saying how they were using a PC to run the their Zaurus Xwindows. I think I know what they are doing, becasue I think I have done it a few times in the past when playing around. But I was wondering if someone could post a short tutorial.
Is it as simple as starting X windows on a PC and point it to the Zaurus IP address?
I hope I'm making sense. Kinda tired right now.

Zaurus:
-set a password for root

- Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
X11Forwarding: yes

on the pc running X:
- ssh -X root@zaurusip

then launch xterm dillo or whatever

The above assumes you are using Linux/Solaris/BSD on your PC
If you are running Windoze, then you would need to install an X server such as Reflection X first.

Alternatively, you can install x11vnc on the Zaurus and use any vnc client such as tightvnc and access the X desktop from the PC

-Y enables Trusted forwarding and more control over specific X server features. You may find in any case that certain applications require -Y to run remote due to the features that they try to use of the X server unless you can specifically allow the X SECURITY extension of your X server to provide those features over ssh.

With cygwin, you can have a Linux Enviroment on Windows with Xfree, SSH, KDE and more more more.... GCC

Answered my own question. For me I had to set my DISPLAY to point to the the host machine. So if I'm logging in via usb from my 'doze box, that would be 192.168.129.1:0.

btw, xdeep32 is a really nice, simple to use X server & a great newbie setup page. Thanks for those

For this works you go need xdm running on Z, and configured to accepts conections... but dont have xdm for ARM, and dont needs!

I was actually saying that I have already got it going... since OpenBSD on the Zaurus is the same as the other architectures I just disabled the local server, enabled xdmcp client support and start xdm with -udpPort 177 and hey presto I can login using xdmcp from X/deep-32

Excellent!

I don't suppose I could get a volunteer to summarize this information for the wiki?
