+ | == How to run several X-Servers simultaneously == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Have you ever wondered why Linux has 6 different virtual text-terminals but only one graphic-terminal? | ||
+ | |||
+ | When you start your X-Server with the command " | ||
+ | |||
+ | " | ||
+ | |||
+ | is normally the same as just " | ||
+ | |||
+ | " | ||
+ | |||
+ | starts another X-Server with its output to the second graphic-terminal | ||
+ | |||
+ | " | ||
+ | |||
+ | starts another X-Server with its output to the third graphic-terminal | ||
+ | |||
+ | ... so we can run upto 6 different X-Servers simultaneously! | ||
+ | |||
+ | You probably already knew, that you can switch between the text-terminals with the combination Alt- and the F1 to F6 keys. | ||
+ | Parallel you can switch between the graphic-terminals with Ctrl-Alt- and F7 to F12. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | == How to connect to a remote X-Server, i.e. control it == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Have you noticed that, when you open an X-Server on your box, the system will open the port 7000 (thats the standard)? So it seems possible to connect to this port and trasmit the graphic data over a network(i.e. the internet). For this to be possible you have to do the following configuration steps: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - On the server: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Allowing the server to send data to your client : | ||
+ | " | ||
+ | |||
+ | - On the client: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Setting the server output to the remote X-Client: | ||
+ | " | ||
+ | |||
+ | After doing this all programs that use X which are executed on the server will be visible and controllable on the client. The CPU time used by the program, however, will be the server one's. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thats pretty much it. I hope that wasn't too cryptic. Have fun. | ||
