Remote X, Get mouse with black screen
I am trying to setup remote connection between machines on the same network using X -query and no matter what I try I get a black screen with the mouse cursor. I am running Fedora 1. Also, when I get the black screen with the mouse cursor I know no other way of getting back to my local console other than rebooting. is there another way?

As for the local console, you can use <CTRL>+<ALT>+<Fn> to switch back and forth (it should be F1 for your local console and F7 for X) --mascdman |
I've seen that page before and followed it. I know have 1 desktop with Fedora core, 1 laptop with Fedora core 2 and 2 Virtual machines 1 is core and the other is core 2 and I have the same problem in all of them. I wouldn't be surprised if it's something right under me nose but "I just can no do it captain".
This is at the end of the log XFree86.0.log "AUDIT: Sun Jun 6 08:08:31 2004: 12995 X: client 5 rejected from local host" looking in google and what I find is instances where the cant even get startx going. All of me kit has no problems with local X, only when I try to connect to another remotely. |
