X11 remote access
Hi every one. I like to use an old laptop (pentium 200) to display programs run on my modern desktop (Athlon +2000) using X11. I get an error message that the dispaly on laptop can't be opened. I've tried the following:
On the laptop: $: xhost +srvr1 or $: xhost +srvr1:0 For the server side I've issued the command $: ssh -X srver1 application_name with the same error message. I've also tried loging in srvr1 with $: ssh srvr1 then $: export DISPLAY =laptop:0.0 and then $: application_name but no results. I've read the man pages for X, Xsecurity, xauth, xhost, xinit, and Xserver, but I am at a loss. Any ideas? Running on both machines Slackware 9.1. X11 is running on both machines. srvr1 and laptop are defined on /etc/hosts |
Have a look at http://www.tightvnc.com/ or http://www.realvnc.com/

Thanks for the pointer. I'll give a try to tightvmc; though it is intended to
access the full desktop. I still want to limit access to applications, so I'll continue the search. |
