[coLinux-devel] How to get X running in coLinux

[Florent C. <fl...@ch...>]

Hi everybody,

First, thanks for such a program. I have began to switch from VMWare to 
coLinux ;o) Works great in console mode, no problem at all for the moment.

But, I haven't manage to get X running (and KDE, I have the same 
problems as others, long duration time when launching...)  nor via a VNC 
client calling a VNC server on coLinux, nor with XDMPC via KDM (nothing 
in the kdm.log and no error in Cygwin/X ??? how bizarre), and no with 
export display.

If someone have time to tell me a detailled how-to, I haven't find such 
one in the mailing-list.

My questions are thoose one :

1 - Which parameters must be set during the configuration phase of the 
package xserver-xfree86. VGA adapter on 640*480 with 16 bits color and a 
little screen or the real model of my graphic card (an ATI RADEON 
mobility in my case, in 1024*768 with 24 bits color). Framebuffer or not

2 - Which is the best method between VNC, export display or XDMPC to use 
KDE or Gnome (or others window manager)

3 - Which is the detaille procedure to achieve the best method

Thanks in advance for your answer. I have made my way alone to increase 
memory and add a swap but for X, all my attemps where unsuccesfull (or 
near unsuccesfull), I think a good answer would be useful while there is 
not a doc section on the website.
