RE: [coLinux-devel] X-windows configuration question

[Deagan, T. <tim...@at...>]

 This works great!  I'm using the cygwin X server.  

For those who are rusty on this (like I was :-), on the PC X window side
just (I'll use my own IP, change it to yours):
# Set DISPLAY variable (set DISPLAY="192.168.1.100:0")
# I did an export (export DISPLAY)
# Allow colinux to connect to your X server (xhost +192.168.1.77)
# on the colinux side start up something (xterm -display 192.168.1.100:0)

You can't run an X server on coLinux at the moment. Use an existing X
server 
such as XFree86's and start a remote session across the virtual network.

Far from that, it would be nice to find that place in the kernel which
the X server you installed uses in order to change video modes, and
disable
that place in the patch.
