I've been following the list for several days now and haven't noticed
this covered. Hopefully somebody will have some insight or experience
making it work.
I use a home office and WFH 3 days a week. My work machine is Ubuntu
Linux, but I prefer to sit at my awesome dual-screen Mac Pro. For
about a year, under Tiger, I worked on the Linux machine headless from
my Mac using remote X. Alas, under Leopard it will not work.
I setup my ~/.xinitrc as follows (Tiger):
quartz-wm --only-proxy &
xhost +
ssh email@hidden "export DISPLAY=my.mac.ip:0 ; startkde"
When I launched X11 it would start my remote KDE desktop and pipe
everything to my Mac X. Worked fantastic. Dual screen support and
all. These days, I am sad....
I have read about the changes in Leopard, and tried adjusting my
scripts. I even tried a bunch of manual steps, and applied Ben's nice
Xquartz update. No dice. Sometimes I would get the remote desktop
for a couple of seconds, then X11 would crash. Most of the time I
would just timeout with "unable to open display 192.168.1.98:0" (my
Mac). And yes, my firewall is disabled.
Anyone had success with remote X?
