I have been playing with DSL on and off for about a week.  I am trying to get it to connect to two different control system servers for work, both of which are unix based.  I chose DSL bc of its ease to boot off of USB, which is a self induced requirement for my project.

The first server I need to broadcast for an XDMCP open server.  When I try to invoke "X -broadcast", I get

Code Sample
X: unable to open wrapper config file /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
X: /tmp/.X11-unix has suspicious mode (not 1777) or is not a directory, aborting.


I created an empty file /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config, to suppress the first, but I cannot figure out what is going on in the second.  /tmp/.X11-unix has root:root permissions per ls -al, and I am starting X as sudo.

The second system is VNC based, so I was curious if I would be able to run the VNCviewer as the windowmanager, or do I have to start x then run vncviewer?

Unfortunately I do not have access immediately to the servers to ply with, but I will tommorrow.

While playing around with xdm/kdm/gdm I found that the Xvesa server uses the option -ac to aquire a login from XDMCP.

brianw , were you able to broadcast -X into you servers ; I have been trying to do the very same thing but I have been told I need  Xfree86 to accomplish it so I use NXclient to logg in to another linux distro running freeNXserver ; but if one is able to do it with broadcast -X it will be better I think.
