X :1.0 -query hostname --> (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev"


On Slackware 13.1, I am trying to connect to another computer using:

X :1.0 -query <hostname>

but I get a black screen and then the following error:

$ X :1.0 -query slackserver

X.Org X Server 1.7.7
Release Date: 2010-05-04

^Cerror setting MTRR (base = 0xe4000000, size = 0x04000000, type = 1) Inappropriate ioctl for device (25)

I tried to connect to both another Slackware 13.1 computer and a Debian computer. I also edited the /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess file on the remote host to enable the graphical login access. I always get the same error.

How can I solve this problem?

Your problem has nothing to do with the lack of fbdev. Show us the full /var/log/Xorg.1.log file that is generated.

The file is too long, so I attached it.

/var/log/Xorg.1.0.log

if you use kdm on the remote host, you have to edit /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc and set, in the [Xdmcp] section, Enable to "true".
Or if you're using xdm, comment the following line in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config
Code:
DisplayManager.requestPort:     0
but connecting this way is slow: if you want a faster remote desktop (you can also launch single apps, like you do with "ssh -Y"), you should consider something like freenx.

Thanks. it works!

I edited the /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc file.

Is there a way to forward also the sound?
