Life isn't fair. I buy a machine to install debian and run lyx. I get
my boss to buy a debian box for his number-smasher. And I'm spending
my time fighting with nt problems :(
The latest is his effort to have only one display on his desk. As he's
wedded to word, that means NT display with xwin-32.
It connects just fine to our digital unix boxes, but attaching to
debian, the window managers collide--whatever it's running and the
default manager on the debian box.
I can manually set DISPLAY and use "xauth add $DISPLAY <cookie>" in a
telnet application, and launch apps. But i've tried replacing the fvwm
line in .xsession/.xinitrc with xterm, with removing the files, and
general tinkering, and whatever I do, I still find a
[FVWM][CatchRedirectError]: <<ERROR>> another WM is running
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server
"pc21307.ansci.iastate.edu:0.0"
after 25 requests (24 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
in .xsession-errors
What do i need to do to configure this? preferably in a manner that
still allows logins from it's own display
