Using X Windows from the 770 (xterm)
 

I'm trying to see how I can use remote displays via X Windows with the 770. I'm having trouble with sapwood.

Here's a session on the 770:

Now, X server connections are enabled on 192.168.1.30. The file with that long ugly pathname exists. The sapwood server is running on the 770.

As an additional clue: the xterm window appears briefly on the display of 192.168.1.30 and then disappears when the above error message shows up.

Does anyone have any clues as to what is happening? Thanks!

I played around a little bit with this.

When I try this on my Mac (running Apple's X11), I get exactly the same results.

The problem is that the 770 provides services to the apps. Since the same services are not running on your desktop's gui, you get these errors.

I tried the same thing on my Linux box -- Which is running GNOME, and I do not get any errors, but I also never get a terminal.

I verified that the Linux box was configured properly by sending an xterm from the Mac.

It would probably work if you set up the same Window Manager and services on the desktop.

The maemo development environment installation instructions would be a good start.

Theoretically, you could also compile an plain old xterm that did not require any of the system services., But since you could only run similarly compiled apps, I don't see what good it would do you.

You might want to try the developers' forum. . .

I have the osso-xterm displaying on my linux box. Here's what I did:
On the linux box:

xhost +

(A little dangerous, in that it allows all machines to connect to your linux display, but saves time dealing with figuring out what IP your Nokia has.)

On the Nokia, fire up XTerminal (osso-xterm, I believe)
Type in:

export DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0

where the x's are replaced with your IP address.
then run:

osso-xterm

That's it. I'm using WindowMaker as the windowmanager on my linux box. I do get some sapwood errors, but the xterm shows just fine.

to enable X11 forwarding from nokia 770, needs:
first, your ssh daemon should support X11 forwarding, as I know, the openssh-server provided by the repository of maemo2.x doesn't support X11 forwarding, but dropbear works.
and a "real" xterm, I don't think osso-xterm supports X11 forwarding, to make xterm you need build x11proto-core-dev, libxmu, libxaw first.

nxclient would be interesting
