the remote machine is Centos(xclient) and the local machine(xming xserver) is windows XP.

thanks for any suggestions.

If you have remote Linux server and you connect with windows (or Linux) client, use FreeNX. Absolutely the best way.

I use TightVNC, never got FreeNX to work while tightvnc was easy.

My notes there if followed literally will make it work.
I had first some trouble, that's why I made the notes to remember everything. It was the client at that time. I had to use their own client instead of the one that came with SUSE/KDE.

I alse use it right now to use my older linux desktop remotely as I use Agent
(via wine) for news and Agent and some other win-apps dont work currently on
Ion window manager but vnc client does (I tried running thrugh ssh
X-forwarding first).

The compression in FreeNX is superb to anything else. So full screen grapchical sessions is where it it's at its best. It's usable even over GPRS.

Also the ability to leave a session running and coming back to that from another computer or connection works like charm.

When I run cli I run screen. This is my daily connection from E90 Communicator.

When I run GUI I run FreeNX. That's when I'm on a real computer with proper display.
