Remote Display on the Z
« on: April 11, 2004, 07:13:04 pm »
Several folks have sent me email asking about this.  It isn\'t too hard.

1. You have to enable tcp connections to your Z\'s Xserver.
  This can be done by modifying the /usr/X11R6/bin/startx
  script.  Look for the defaultserverargs=\" -nolisten tcp -kb\"
  and change it to defaultserverargs=\" -kb\".  You need it to
  listen to tcp calls.
2. Somewhere, you need to allow connections.  The easiest
  and least secure is to simply do a:
  # xhost +
  This removes all Xwindows security.  A better way is to simply
  enable connections from trusted hosts.  Usually, this means
  the pc you are connected to via USB: 192.168.129.200 for me.
  # xhost +192.168.129.200
  You can add this to your /home/root/.xinitrc file if you like.

Now on my linux host box, I can export my display to the Z.  I usually
rdisplay things like my load status windows and such.  So, while
my Z is connected to my linux box, all my status info is displaying
on my Z.

Cool beans.

how do you export your host window on the z?
after host + 192.168.129.200?
xterm shows: ... being added to access control list
and then?

thanks stephan

For the bash:

export DISPLAY=192.168.129.XXX

For the tcsh:

setenv DISPLAY 192.168.129.XXX

then just do, what you want to do: xterm, gnumerix etc ;-)
