You can do this two ways, either with VNC or as you suggest with a local
X-server.
Using a local X-server like xwin32, WinaXe or Cygwin (www.cygwin.com)
you will have to open port 177 (xdmcp) for both TCP and UDP in the
firewall (if the firewall is activated). Secondly you will have to open
for remote graphical login in Security and users/Security settings in
YaST. Activate XDMCP in your local X-server and you're on. (Cygwin: X
-query servername)
With VNC you will also have to open for remote graphical login like
above. In addition you need to open for VNC-login in Network
services/Network services (inetd) in YaST. You can then use a VNC client
like TightVNC (www.tightvnc.com) to log in. (SuSE 9.2 comes with
TightVNC server.) Use address or name followed by :1 as parameter (e.g.
my.server.com:1). You can also activate VNC via http the same place in
YaST, then you do not need a client program. Type http://server:5801 in
a Java-enabled browser and you get the login screen. If you get a
password prompt first, click OK.
(Use :1 and :5801 if you activated vnc1 in inetd, :2 and :5802 for vnc2
and :3 and :5803 for vnc3.)
