Heh heh - now you're getting it. As I mentioned earlier, the UHG has a pretty good chapter on X. -- (This discussion group is about C, ...) Wrong. It is only OCCASIONALLY a discussion group about C; mostly, like most "discussion" groups, it is off-topic Rorsharch [sic] revelations of the childhood traumas of the participants...

There is no micro/macro issue. You do not understand the process. Try running wireshark. Have you carefully examined how you initiate the X11 client?

When you talk to a server,m you have to identify the server's IP address. The cruncher can talk to many servers. It is up to you to identify the display server. Todd, have you EVER used a printer server? A file server? In all cases, you have tyo identify the server name. The cruncher specifies the server name, and then initiates a connection to that server. Just like every other client/server example.

Good luck with yours, as you fail to understand the concept of client/server.

You fail to understand that this is occuring iin two steps. Step 1: workstation initiates a connection to the cruncher. Step 2: cruncher initates connection to the workstation display. Both machines are servers. ONe is a computer server. One is a display server. > > The naming should have been chosen based on the functional > outcome of the processes. Which it is. |
