x windows. how to go about it?!

[ms_3]

i am setting up a g60 and want to do x windows sessions from my windows machine.

how do i setup my g60 for remote x windows sessions? when i go into sam > display configuration > x server configuration it says that there are no graphics devices for my system. i understand that since i'm using a console, i wouldn't need a graphics device locally. but that should prevent telnet x windows sessions using a product like x-win32?

from your windows box rexec this command on your g60:

/usr/bin/X11/xterm -sl 2000 -ls -sb -cr Wheat -T `hostname` -bg MidnightBlue -fg Wheat -fn 7x13 -fb 7x13B -display ipaddressofyourwinbox:0.0

Hi:

Unless you specifically chose not to, the X windows environment including CDE is installed by default. If you are able to resolve hostnames in both directions and both boxes are able to ping each other, you should be all set. On whatever PC based X server you like, you simply open a telnet session to the UNIX host, then export DISPLAY=mypc:0.0, and as a simple test run xclock. If your X-server support XDMCP, you should be able to get a cdelogin.
