Re: [g-a-devel] gnome-mag throw an network

[Bill Haneman <Bill Haneman Sun COM>]

HI Carlos:

gnome-mag does work across a network - at least, I've done it myself.  
It might be that the permissions on your system are not allowing access 
to the remote X server. 

I recommend, for best performance, running the magnifier binary on the 
"target" system, and using the remote system as the "source", but it 
should work either way.  But first, make sure you have access to the 
remote system's X server by running something simple, like Xclock, on 
the remote server.

regards

Bill
