That is precisely what I'm trying to do with my alpha and SPARC here at home since my main monitor broke and I took the monitor from the alpha box. You have to set XDM in the machine "someOtherSystem" as follows: The files are either in /etc/X11/xdm or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm. o Edit xdm-config and comment out the line: !DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 o Edit Xservers and add an entry for the machine with the display, say "systemImSittingOn" as follow: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07 systemImSittingOn:1 foreign o The file Xaccess should read: * #any host can get a login window * CHOOSER BROADCAST #any indirect host can get a chooser In the machine "systemImSittingOn" start the X server with the command: /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt08 -quiet -query someOtherSystem That's it. I didn't find Xwrapper in my suse 6.4 system. Note that the Xserver file is allowing anybody to get a login prompt. You may want to limit the hosts allowed to get it. There is a document in the Linux Documentation Project about this, the XDM and X Terminal mini-HOWTO.
