X -query not working

[Michael Dalanek]

Hi,

Ive got a PC running standard RedHat 7.0. X works fine.
From my HP workstation if I do; X -query I get a grey screen up but never a login. If I do a -query to any other HP server it works fine.

What do I need to do with my Redhat setup to allow remote X queries to work ?

Thanks.

X -once -query

Assuming gnome, you need to modify /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf. Under:

[xdmcp]
enable=true

Thanks for the replies guys but no good. Tried them all, still only get a grey screen up, no login. Any more ideas ??

I suspected the font path would cause him grief (great URL, wish I'd found that a couple years ago!) as well, but it doesn't sound like he's even getting that far.

Have you tried restarting gdm since modifying gdm.conf?

Hi,

I have restarted gdm (Iand the PC). Still no joy. Im running the X -query from my HP workstation so surely I need a font server up and running on the PC running RedHat to point to ?? Ive tried pointing to my font server running on my HP but no good. Still same problem - I get a grey X screen up, but no login.

Any more ideas ???

Actually, you need the font server running on an HP-UX box.

The problem was that CDE required some HP-specific fonts and dies without them.
