Thanks to all, our xclock problem seems to be fixed; Xwindows are now displaying on my XP machine. Can anyone shed some light on the meaning of this error message: ~/jre/1.4.2/lib/i386/libawt.so: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXp.so.6: undefined symbol: _Xsetlocale It's happening when trying to start a java gui app; we had been led to believe that this error was something to do with displaying xwindows, however that no longer seems to be the problem. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gavin McDonald Sent: Friday, 11 November 2005 10:14 AM To: 'General Red Hat Linux discussion list' Subject: RE: Non-root users cannot run Xwindow > Is it possible to get an xwindow to display directly to a windows XP > laptop connected remotely?

Yes, and yes. either a full-blown Xserver, or at least vncviewer, with some chicanery at the server-side... > I've tried setting the display variable to that of my laptop; running > xclock seems to pause my remote session until I ctrl-c out of it, but it > does not display anything. If you're using SSH, do not change the DISPLAY variable. SSH is supposed to take care of that itself... -G Regards, Gavin McDonald ======================== EVI Logistic Enterprises email: me@xxxxxxxxxxxx phone: (604) 313-3845 > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list- > bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Aaron White > Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 6:00 PM > To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list > Subject: RE: Non-root users cannot run Xwindow > > We were able to get xclock to display one the local machine using VNC > Viewer, after following your suggestions.
