X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:45:09 -0000 I've read the dbus and hal help pages but I'm still confused. In a configuration where xserver connects to clients via xdmcp where do I need to run dbus and hald: a. only on the machine which runs xserver? b. only on the machine which runs the clients? c. on both the xserver and clients machines? I've tried various configurations, but cannot still cannot get a web browser to run, only endless dbus-launch and dbus-daemon processes. Please advise. Perhaps this question is more suited to x11 or gnome mailing list? many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
