Re: Gnome through x windows?

[Sean Murphy <murphy erim-int com>]

It will absolutely work!  I use it all the time here at work.  The one thing that
you have to change is in the /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file (assuming you are using
gdm as your display manager).  There is a line under the xdmcp section that says
Enable=0.  you need to change that to Enable=1 and then I think you have to
restart X, but you might not have to.
