Xserver

Filed under Unix Notes on Tuesday, February 28th, 2006 @ 2:25pm by Christen

Server:
xinit (for no window manager (get from client)
or startx (includes window manager, in cygwin it integrates nicely with XP)
with CygWIn you can run C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat without first starting Cygwin

xhost IPofXClient
or
xhost + (allows ANY client)

Client:
DISPLAY=IPofServer:0.0
export DISPLAY

AnyXProgram &

You can use a window manager from the client like thus:
openbox &
or just run a single program like a terminal on the client:
aterm &
xterm &

be sure to & the programs so that you don’t loose your prompt.
