I have a main machine at work and a laptop I bring in every day. The laptop sits to my left, and when I want to use it I have to twist through 90 degrees and pick up the mouse and keyboard. Not anymore. With x2x I can just move the mouse off the left side of my screen and the pointer appears on the right side of the laptop display.
How are the two computers networked? CR

In my case, ethernet. When you run x2x you just tell it which X display you want it to link to. -- 3:47pm up 46 days, 7:54, 1 user, load average: 0.15, 0.04, 0.01

OK I have two machine both with KDE up. How do I set the <DISPLAY> for the screen on my 'lounge' machine? I keep getting 'can not open display lounge' This is probally something basic I am missing, but at least the 'man' for x2x does not contain it <g> -- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services

Try an 'xhost +ipaddr_of_lounge_machine'.
Try an 'xhost +ipaddr_of_lounge_machine'.
No I'am stuck there as well.

linux-mag is not one I get in the United Kingdom so does not help. I've twigged what is going on. xhost will not help as SUSE8 has enabled xauth by default. Life is easy when you know the answers, it's finding the questions that is a problem <g> -- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services

Er, can you clarify which machine you typed which instruction on? And what happens if you try xhost + without a specific IP address? -- 11:38am up 49 days, 3:44, 1 user, load average: 0.10, 0.10, 0.03

I typed them all on the same box. I bet the xhost must be done on the remote one with the ip of the box I want to sit at eh? And the ip used in the x2x command should be the ip of the "other box" Duh... Mark

In short, yep... :) The machine where you want the mouse pointer controlled remotely needs X authorisation switched off so the controlling machine can take control of its pointer. That remote machine is where you run the xhost command. The x2x runs on the main machine. This is assuming you're running with the "-to" protocol. Other way round if you're using "-from" (like I am). -- 1:37pm up 49 days, 5:43, 1 user, load average: 0.09, 0.06, 0.02
