Do you want two completely independant desktops, like having a KVM? Or do you want apps from both machines running on one desktop? If you want the former (the KVM situation), things should be easy. After you have already started a local X session, get to a tty and run "X :1 -query hostname" where hostname is the second machine. Make sure "Enable=true" is set in the XDMCP section of /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. You should be presented with the gdm login for your second machine. To switch between them, just CTRL+ALT+F7, and CTRL+ALT+F8. Instant KVM. -jason pepas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
