Re: Xmanager connection question
You can use Xmanager without running the X server on Linux.
For XDMCP connection, you need to run a display manager ("gdm" or "kdm") on the Linux server. Be default, it invokes an X server also. So, you need to configure "gdm.conf" file not to run the X server on Linux.
Please do the following:
1. Open /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file.
2. Go to the [servers] section.
3. Comment out all definitions in the section:
[servers]
#0=/usr/bin/X11/X
#1=/usr/bin/X11/X
4. Run "gdm" as root.
Now, your Linux doesn't load X window even when you configure your Linux to start as X window mode. It will just accept remote X terminals.
If you need to run X window on the console, just run "/usr/bin/X11/X" at the console.
For "kdm", you should configure "/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers" file.
