I have - in the same subnet - a WinXP PC and a multi-boot PC with a) OpenSuse10.3, b) FreeBSD-7.0 (and c) WinXP) I installed the free X-Windows server Xming on the WinXP PC, and I can connect to the other PC when it is booted in OpenSUSE 10.3: Xming is configured for 'open session via XDMCP', I specify fully qualified hostname and I get the openSUSE username/password login screen, etc... (I didn't need to change anything in the OpenSuSE) But when that PC is booted into FreeBSD - XMing only gives me a screen with a grey background and a black X - connection seems not established. The FreeBSD runs KDM as window manager and KDE as desktop. Why and how to remedy?
