Running applications remotely on headless SPARC box
Hi,
I would like to use one of my V210's as an application server however,
there is an issue while using X11 forwarding.
I have enabled X11_forwarding under /etc/ssh/sshd_config however,
whenever I try to start an application from my x86 box remotely using:
ssh -X or ssh -Y
I get presented with "cannot connect to X server".
I guess that I will need to have the X server enabled on both client and
server machines however, since my V210 doesn't have a GPU only the
serial console what are my options?
This is what I'm doing regarding X11 forwarding on the client side:
ssh -X host
export DISPLAY=host:10.0
xterm
--with regards to the X11 offset being set to 10 in the SSH config file....
I would also like to use XDMCP if possible but again that requires X to
start....
Is there any way that one could create a psuedo graphics controller in
the SPARC box?
If I run "startx" the bottom of the Xorg log shows:
(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional
information.
Can anyone suggest anything or help?
Regards,
Kaya
