Thanks for the link to that blog. Very informative. Using the xinit method from the second post, I was actually able to get the login screen to the remote SuSE box and successfully login. Unfortunately, after a couple of minutes the Xserver dies. It's strange because it spits out: ... waiting for X server to begin accepting connections FreeType: couldn't find encoding 'iso8859-13' for '/usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF/luximr.ttf' and then .. No protocol specified repeatedly even though it appears to be working until eventually it says giving up. xinit: Resource temporarily unavailable (errno 11): unable to connect to X server waiting for X server to shut down xinit: Server error. I don't see anything unusual in the logs. I'm going to try the xephyr method next as that is reported to be the most stable. Steve -- Changing lives one card at a time http://www.send1cardnow.com
