Hi, I need to run X ... or in some way gain access to the display output on a remote box that has neither mouse, keyboard, or console. Is this even possible? I've been looking at the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-xdm.html#AEN6864 But it doesn't jump out at me how I should make this work. I've edited /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config and Xaccess to listen for the connection, but when I run xdm on the remote box it fails with "No core pointer" So I followed the limited instructions on the X wiki and added Section ServerFlags option "AllowMouseOpenFail" EndSection But now I get Fatal error: no screens found. Is it even possible to have the remote headless box host an X session? thanks, lane
