I have a network of 5 identical lab machines which are all Gateway 90MHz pentium machines with ATI Mach64 graphics cards. For administration reasons, I would prefer to have them mount /usr/X11R6 from a network location. I am trying to run XFree86 this way, and having no luck. I have created an XF86Config file that works fine on one of the machines which happens to have a full XFree86 installation. I have copied that XF86Config file to /etc/XF86Config on one of the other machines. I have also made the symbolic link from usr/X11R6/bin/X to usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_Mach64 on the server. I have mounted usr/X11R6 from the server on /usr/X11R6 on the client. When I run startx, I get this error message: ld.so: xinit: libXmu.so.0: Undefined error: 0 What I would like to know is, is it possible to run XFree86 using a network-mount setup? We administer Openwindows and X11R5 this way already for our network of Suns and SGIs, and I would prefer to keep this model if possible. I have searched the XFree86 and FreeBSD web pages for information about this with no success. Thanks for any information, -deborah bennett -- ---------- Deborah Gronke Bennett (WD5HJH) kernel and device drivers engineer deborah@microunity.com (408)-734-8100 MicroUnity Systems Eng., 255 Caspian Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1015 USA
