Remote X Apps mini-HOWTO: The Scene
3. The SceneYou're using two computers. You're using the X window system of the first
to type to and look at. You're using the second to do some important
graphical work. You want the second to show its output on the display
of the first. The X window system makes this possible.Of course, you need a network connection for this. Preferably a fast
one; the X protocol is a network hog. But with a little patience
and suitable protocol compression, you can even run applications
over a modem. For X protocol compression, you might want to check
out dxpc http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~zvonler/dxpc/ or LBX
http://www.ultranet.com/~pauld/faqs/LBX-HOWTO.html (also
known as the LBX mini-HOWTO).You must do two things to achieve all this:Tell the local display (the server) to accept connections from
the remote computer.Tell the remote application (the client) to direct its output to
your local display.
