Hi there,

I think, I am a liitle bit crazy.
I am not able to connect via X-Deep32 (from my Windows XP PC) to a
fedora Core 5 server with Gnome.

What do I have to do?

I want to display the hole windows manager output from the FC machine
on my windows machine.

Are there any hints what to configure?

Many thanks in advance,


Mark

Edit /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config
Comment out the last line as described in the file.

Edit /etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc
Change enable=true in the xdmcp section

Edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
Change enable=true in the xdmcp section

Edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
Set up which machines you want to give access to. I allow all connections
in this file because I control access with my firewall.

Edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop
Change the DESKTOP= and DISPLAYMANAGER= lines to reflect the systems you
want to use: XDM KDE GNOME.

telinit 3 to stop the X server.
telinit 5 to start the X server.

That should do it... though there is currently a thread going here where
KDM won't run as the display manager for remote connections... but there's
something strange going on there.

Can you open remote X sessions on the FC machine from anything other
than X-Deep32?  Like another Linux box, or Xming with Putty?  I don't
know X-Deep32 myself but from what you say it isn't clear whether you
have positively identified that as the location of the problem anyway;
narrowing it down would probably be useful as a starting point.
