In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have used xwin32, and this is what you do: Run xwin32 Connect to remote system via telnet/ssh/etc and "export DISPLAY="111.111.111.111:0.0" where 111.111.111.111 is your IP. On remote system run x applications (for example "$ /usr/X11R6/bin/blackbox" Note that you can only run window managers in single window mode -- if you're running in multiple, just run the apps directly (like "$ xterm &"). Use xutil32 to set your window mode. Hope that helps. - Jeff Poole On Sat, 10 Jul 1999, Rick Hamell wrote: > > > > What is the proper command for starting xwindows from a remote site > > > using a program such as xwin32? > > > > I don't know what xwin32 is.
