Open an X11 query from Terminal.app
Authored by: zoombronco on Apr 19, '06 07:19:36PM

Ok, well, I did this with an installation of LTSP, but I assume the principle is similar:

X -query x.x.x.x :1

where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the server you are trying to reach.

I believe you were leaving out the display number after the address.

I did this in an X11 window running xterm. i simply started X11 from my utilities folder in Applications, typed in the above command, watched a few messages, and then the login popped up. i believe xdmcp must be configured properly in either gdm, kdm, or xdm to load properly. But I'm a newb, so what do i know? :)
Now my problem is that the login screen will not disconnect, even when using the "DISCONNECT" button on the darn screen...
