Xmanager connection question [1]

does i need to start Xwindows on linux server when i use Xmanager to connect it?
it seems that Xmanager cant connect the linux if Xwindows doesnt run on the linux server.
How solve this problem?

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.

Hope to solve the problem.
