OK, I have a couple Dell Optiplex 980s that I am trying to get set up for a specialized application. What I want to be able to do worked in Fedora 8 and earlier, but it has been broken since Fedora 9.
PC1 I want to set up so it queries another (HP-UX) machine for a graphical CDE login to that system. I have some success starting X manually using X -query <remotehost> -from <localhost>, but I have not been able to get the computer to boot up and display the CDE login. So far I have tried a fresh Fedora 15 install with no window managers installed, and after adding the remote host to /etc/hosts and /etc/X0.hosts, as well as generating an xorg.conf file using Xorg :0 -configure, I am able to get a CDE login using X -query <remotehost> PC2, I want to set up to act like a "dumb terminal", in other words, all I want it to do is show the blank root window and a cursor unless I am sending an application to it from the HP-UX machine. I can get the blank root window that I am after using just X :0 -br -terminate, however I am not getting a cursor. PC2 is actually PC1 right now as I am just trying to establish the procedure to get both done. I do not need any kind of display manager to be installed, though they do come in handy for some of the setup. xorg.conf: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" FontPath "catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d" FontPath "built-ins" FontPath "tcp/192.168.1.56:7000" EndSection Section "Module" Load "glx" Load "extmod" Load "record" Load "dbe" Load "dri2" Load "dri" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Monitor Model" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 1 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 4 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 8 EndSubSection EndSection Installation was a standard vanilla "Graphical" installation with no window managers selected, and some of the development options selected. Kernel is 2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64 The X11 application that these PCs will be running requires 8 bit color depth and a resolution of 1280x1024.
