But only sort of. I have X-Win32 trialling on a laptop, and want to be able to connect to the Xserver - but I just can't seem to do it. To give you a run down. I have X working. I have KDE working. I have the /etc/ttys entry set to: ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure .. (I note that kdm is much prettier, and appears to work Just as well) I have the entry in xdm-config commented out. ! DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 /root/.xinitrc contains "exec startkde" Ok. Using 'xdm' , booting brings up an oversize font LOGIN -PASSWORD display. Very ugly. (kdm looks nicer, but I'm following the manual) Neither xdm or kdm, let me log in as root. I have to go Ctl+alt+F1 to get to the good old terminal window. Now, the main problem is .. Which is a real pain, as I do need to connect to this thing remotely. I can't connect from the remote laptop's X-Win32 program xterm emulator program. Has anyone managed to get any remote, xterm emulators going? And how so? Thanks if you can help - I'm almost there. Rob
