Remote X sessions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all. I'm running SuSE 9.2 pro on my laptop and main 
machine. I would like to run a remote X session on my main 
machine, and have the X session displayed on my laptop.

I have got as far as doing a ssh login to the main server 
from my laptop, and then running:

ssh$ xclock -display :0

which allows me to start the xclock on my main machine, via 
ssh on the laptop.

Does anyone have any pointers to tutorials on how to get the 
X session output displayed on my laptop please?

Obviously I have CLI remote login functional with ssh. I 
really need a remote X login to my main machine, with the 
apps runing on that, and the Xsession displayed on my 
laptop. I've read about XDMCP, xdm, but I'm still not sure 
how to put all this together.

I have a firewall running on both boxes - I have opened up 
access so packets should move between each machine via the 
router.

Do I need X listening on my laptop for TCP/IP connections? 
Or is it UDP packets on port 177?

TIA

Keith Roberts
