Linux terminal to SOlaris CDE
2007-12-25 11:54:00
Thanks to many people for pitching in on this one; none of the
suggestions got to the heart of the problem, though (problem being
that I couldn't get keyboard input to go through to the CDE login box
after making the indirect connection from the Linux machine).
The final solution can be chalked up to Stupid Sysadmin Tricks...
I had configured the Linux machine to run xdm, thinking that if it was
set up to use the X server in indirect mode only, that xdm would
pretty much leave the local console alone. This was *not* the case,
ans what happened was that xdm on the Linux machine grabbed the
keyboard, making XtGrabKeyboard from the CDE host fail.
Now instead of starting up xdm service, I just run the X server
directly from the appropriate rc.* file, and all works well.
CJW
P.S.: If anyone remembers my headaches with getcwd(), I can say that
I have had no such problems since I installed xntp to synchronize
the clocks across the NIS+ host/clients, so that really seems to
have done the trick.
