Re: problems with remote display

[Harold L Hunt <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Claudio,

You can use ``startx -- -query ip_of_remote_machine'' unless you have modified
the startx scripts to stop launching local X clients.

I recommend instead that you make a copy of startxwin.bat and edit the `start
XWin' line for your platform (Windows 95/98/Me or Windows NT/2000/XP) to use
the -query parameter.  Be sure to REM out the lines that start the local
clients (xterm, twm, and xsetroot).

By the way, 4.2.0-10 is the latest version of XFree86-xserv.
