Hi, I have been reading man pages, the freebsd manual, kde.org (now offline?) pages, I've been experimenting with different setups, but I do not manage to setup X as I wish. I have a server called beastie, and a desktop called wodan. Both machines start kdm on ttyv8 and allow for local login. When I use xfce4 on wodan (before I had ttyv8 on) and use xhost+, I can ssh to beastie, setup display=wodan:0 and start e.g. emacs, gnucash etc... When I use kdm/kde on wodan, xhost+ isn't enough. I can still ssh to beastie, but apps on beastie do not get acces to wodan:0, although I've done xhost+ on wodan. I do not know how to set up kde so that apps from another machine get access to the display. What I really would like, is to be able to login to beastie using the wodan kdm. I have not been able to figure out how to do this. Any help would be really appreciated. Guidohelp
