X -query not working

[Michael Aos]

Oops, sorry, I was starting to get confused in what you wanted to do.

If you're wanting to get an HP CDE (dtlogin) on your RedHat Linux box, then setting up an HP-UX font server did the trick for me.

If you just want a gdm / xdm login prompt on your HP-UX box, then setting up xdm or gdm should do it for you. No font server required.

Michael,

thanks for the replies. Yes, Im on my HP workstation in command line mode (no CDE) and Im trying to X -query to my Redhat PC. Cant get it to work at all. The question is how do you setup gdm or xdm so it will work ??

Here's the gdm.conf I'm using (RH 6.2, sorry, but I think it'd be essentially the same for 7.0....) which seems to work normally:

And yes, all I had to do was edit the .conf and restart gdm.
