In the past I've used the X11 server provided by Fink. Using this X
server I was able to connect to a Linux (Red Hat 7.2) server @ my work
and run lbxproxy to optimize the X connection (connection = DSL) back
to my Mac's X server.
However, with Apple's X11 I can no longer connect X clients via the
lbxproxy.
Below are two session transcripts, one using Apple's X server (which
fails) and one using Fink's X server (which works).
Since I work from home a lot, lbxproxy really helps to make using X
over DSL a lot nicer. For example, launching emacs is almost 40%
faster using lbxproxy.
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.
