I have a FreeBSD 2.2.7 machine running X windows. You will need to go through the configuration (/stand/sysinstall, C - Configure, Page down - X - Configure Xfree86). The biggest thing to make sure you know when configuring X is what type of monitor and video card you have. Make sure you have the specs on those 2 things. If you can't find the specs on your monitor go to www.xfree86.org. They have links to some good monitor databases. Once you have it configured. Make sure you can run startx from the console. At this point you can use a X Windows client to access the box via X. I use Reflections X. You can download an eval copy for WRQ. It's good for 60 days. I believe it works on 95 and NT. I think it retails for $500 ish. Ray PS. I have just this week gotten X to work. Please feel free to ask questions. I'm still a newbie at this also. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Jean-Marc > Beaudoin > Sent: Wednesday, December 02, 1998 7:14 AM > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: About X-Windows client > > > Good day, > > I have 2 FreeBSD machines running now. > > For convenience I would like to have X-Windows access to them from a > Windows 95 or NT machine. > > Question 1: Do you known a godd client software to do this under > Windows 95 or NT? > > Question 2: Besides having XF86 installed on the FreeBSD 2.2.6 > boxes, what else do I have to set up?? > > Regards, > > From a OpenVMS guru but a FreeBSD newbie... > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Jean-Marc Beaudoin > Analyste technique > V.I.P.
