Exceed is a X server to be used in windows > - Can you run X normally on your local machine? it used to work until i lost my dhcp lease and since then it doesn't work anymore. The reason i'm looking at the freebsd machine, is because it doesn't work on both my workstation (which i was using at the time of the dhcp incident) and on my laptop which i wasn't using at that time. Since the dhcp incident the Xserver never gives a login prompt, but it does pop up the chooser.
