How to redirect NetWare server GUI to a PC running Exceed?

LAST MODIFIED DATE: March 03, 2004

VERSION: This applies to Exceed All versions

SOLUTION:

There are several steps in the process of displaying the NetWare GUI to Exceed.

The first step is to set the Exceed Window Mode to Single. You can do this by doing the following:

  1. From the Exceed program group launch Xconfig.
  2. Select "Display and Video".
  3. On the "Screen 0" tab select "Single" as the Window Mode.
  4. Start the Exceed X-server.

The next step is to redirect the NetWare GUI display to the PC running Exceed. For more information, you can visit the Novell web site at the following URL:

  1. Make sure the server's GUI is not already loaded. If it is loaded, stop it by using for example the commands:

    java -killall
    java -exit

    Note that this will kill all java programs, including the non GUI programs.

  2. Use the following command sequence to redirect the display to a remote computer running Exceed:

    java
    envset display=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0
    startx

    Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the computer running Exceed.
