Re: Using XWin.exe to connect to a linux X Server


1.)
If you start the XWin.exe and then connect to d-tuxedo over ssh and there you start:
DISPLAY=your_displays_IP:0 xterm

does it work ?

2.) is there an XDCMP server running on d-tuxedo ?
(can be set somewhere in the gdm settings "Allow remote loginW or similar")

Regards,
David
