EXCEED and CDE

[eric stewart]

On my sustem they have set it up sp that no matter what I do when I click on exceed I get the CDE enviroment. Can someone shed some light on how I can change my enviromnent so that I do not get the CDE enviroment started automatically.
I have tried looing at config files within EXCEED on my PC and the X windows on my unix box with no success.
Sometimes our systems people are slow in responding to questions. The forum is so much better.
TIA

In the tools area for the EXCEED, there is an option for Communication --> Configuration --> Screen Selection/Communication/Protocol,etc.

There are windows in there to have the CDE start or to just get the dtterm window.
Look at turning off the XDMCP (switch to passive) and also look for the Default to Native.

What you are looking for would be in this area of Exceed.

Hi!
I'm not sure if you read the last message that I posted at your last topic, so I have no idea if you got it or not.
For Exceed, from start button, go to programs->exceed- config.... (see the other reply or if you want call 1-888-707-4000x3104
May be you'll work better on the phone.
If not, happy re-search,

your Xceed is configured to listen to XDMCP; disable this as follows:

-run (Start -> Programs -> Exceed -> Xconfig)
-select communications
-change startup mode to Passive
-exit Xconfig (it will restart Xceed)

Good luck

Sorry I did not respond yesterday got caught up in the old meeting excuse.
I have EXCEED communication set to passive.
Rick could not find any option as "native".
I get the EXCEED, gray tweed window, with the x but then can not do anything.
Tried setting the Xstart to /usr/bin/X11/X but also the same results.
Where do I tell EXCEED to start a session on the UNIX box? It looks like Xstart, am I wrong?
TIA

I assume what you want to do is to run an xterm ...
In your Xstart window check the following:
Start Method = REXEC
Program Type=X Window
Provide user id ; hostname and password
command line should be:

/usr/bin/X11/xterm -ls -display :0.0&

save this setting and run it, you should get your xterm

Kofi,
That put the last nail in the works.
Thanks to any individual that replied.
I am learing a lot.
