Hello everyone;
I am looking for information on how to setup a remote X server.
This is my setup:
Internet.
|
FreeBSD Gateway (Running Xorg)
|
8 Port hub ----> Wireless Base Station
|
6 machines, Various Operating Systems
What I wish to be able to do is setup the 6 client machines to be able
to access the X server running on the gateway.
I have looked at the gdm configuration manager, and it allows a option
for remote connections, but I am unsure of the exact procedure I would
use to connect to this from one of the client systems. The one I am
mostly concerned with is my FreeBSD laptop.
Do I need to create some 'virtual screens' to enable more than one X
session to be run on the machine at once?
I have also tried acomplising this using Xvnc, however when I try to
start the server I get the error message:
[root@codegurus]# /usr/local/bin/Xvnc
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.
I still wish the local X server to be able to be run, so I am unsure how
I can proceed.
I hope someone can help.
