1) Enable the XFS font server to accept remote XDMCP request in the /etc/X11/fs/config file by commenting out the following line:
# no-listen=tcp
Then you also need to use TCP instead of Unix-socket, i.e. 'FontPath "tcp/host:7100"'
FontPath "unix/:7100"
Configured like this it'll only listen localy on the XDMCP box.
However, I cannot find this line in XF86Config on SJDS/SLES8, only a list of fonts. Should I place this line for FontPath port in front of this font list, or does SLES8 use other config files for this setting?
In /etc/X11/fs/config on SUSE8.2: # To use this fontserver, add # # FontPath "unix/:7100" # # into the Section "Files" of /etc/X11/XF86config, above all other # FontPath entries. You may also remove or comment out all other # FontPath entries if you want to use all fonts via the Fontserver
At last, according to the Howto, the command 'chkfontpath --list' should check out what fonts are available. As I get only the message 'command not found', I wonder if this command isn't supported on SuSE?
pin 0.27 - package info for chkfontpath ------------------------------------------------------------------ *** no rpm named chkfontpath installed ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ *** zgrep chkfontpath /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES.gz ------------------------------------------------------------------ Looks like it's not used in SuSE.
