I
have a new Mac mini I'm trying to use
purely as an X-server, but I am finding it extremely frustrating. On first
unpacking the system, it booted up and configured itself flawlessly. I
installed X11, and started it, typed "xhost +" and was then able to start X
applications (in particular KDE Desktop) from our Linux farm with no
problems. After a while, I exited X11, and repeated the same steps, but
with no luck. X11 starts and works just fine, the xterm comes up and works
just fine. "xhost +" indicates it will accept connections from any client,
but the Linux farm refuses to acknowledge there is an X-server present. I
have since configured X11 as a Startup item, so it comes up on boot-up. If
I keep rebooting over and over, eventually, everything will work again, but as
soon as I shutdown X11, it goes back to not working for some random long,
usually long, period of time. In all cases, whether the Linux farm
acknowledges the presence of the X-server or not, I can always ssh into the farm
and launch X-applications that display on the Mac using X-11
forwarding.
Any ideas what's going on? I'm about at the end of my rope with this
thing.
Thanks!
Regards,
Ray L.
