I am ex-windows user. Back there I used an application called cygwin to connect to a Linux server application.
I'm no linux expert at all. But I understand that I should be able to connect to the same linux server's application with the X11 application in my Macbook Pro. I am running Leopard 10.5.
I got a set of special fonts from the Linux server manufacturer.
I did the following:
1.- Executed the X11 application in Utilities.
2.- In the X11 window I typed "startx". It says it is waiting for connections.
3.- Opened a Terminal window, established a ssh session to the lunix server and typed "setenv DISPLAY XX.XX.XX.XX:0" where XX.XX.XX.XX is my Mac IP address.
4.- In the same Terminal window I typed "vmlogin &"
After a few seconds I get the error message that the window can't be opened.....
Any idea ?
