Hi all...
First thanks for all of your notes, but I see that I did not give enough info.
#1 I don't do windows! <G>
Both of my Linux boxes are sitting here in front of me on my home lan. I'm at the command line of system A. B is headless. I want to telnet or ssh (or whatever) to system B. Run X there and have it display on A's screen. I'm using SuSE 6.3 on both systems.
At the command line "xhost" does not work I get an error. When I telnet (or ssh, I tried both) to B. I run "export DISPLAY=A:0", then "startx". On A's screen I get all the X messages, but no GUI. Just to see I put another screen on B and did all this again. I got all the messages etc on A's screen and the GUI came up on B's screen.
So any ideas?
You need to start X first, and then in xterm enter xhost and other commands. -K.
TIA!
