Can you give me a URL? That information is for Tiger and earlier.


Why don't you try using startx to handle all of this startup stuff instead
of reinventing the wheel?

For one, because I've found no other documentation.

The docs I *did* find

 http://etbe.coker.com.au/2007/01/07/xephyr/
 http://lists.luv.asn.au/wws/arc/luv-main/2007-01/msg00050.html

indicated the approach I've taken.

The developer docs @ apple

 http://developer.apple.com/cgi-bin/search.pl?q=Xephyr&num=10&site=default_collection

have nothing re: xephyr

And they really shouldn't. There's nothing special about Xephyr on OSX. It's the exact same as on other systems... so your general googling that turns up how it works on Linux should be the same as how it works on OSX.


Are there some docs that you can point to that clarify what to do and
what not to reinvent?

This works for me (well, after removing /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb):

startx /usr/X11/bin/twm -- /usr/X11/bin/Xephyr :2

That works fine on the Mac, with a local Xephyr instance, running the X-apps on the same box.

Yes, that's what I thought you wanted.

How, exactly, is your approach used to connect me to a remote box,
ensuring proper authentication etc?

You mean XDMCP? I can do this on my Mac:

/usr/X11/bin/Xephyr :1 -query 10.0.10.1

I have kdm running on my Linux box (which is 10.0.10.1).
