+ | |||
+ | * Start //XLaunch// to configure VcXsrv | ||
+ | * Select //One large window//, then //Next// | ||
+ | * Select //Open session via XDMCP//, then //Next// | ||
+ | * Select //Connect to host **asterix**// and //Terminate on server reset//, then //Next// | ||
+ | * Use the settings specified below, then //Next// | ||
+ | * Select //Clipboard// | ||
+ | * **Unselect** //Native opengl//, unless you know what you are doing! | ||
+ | * FIXME We should try to keep it selected and check if ''glxgears'' works correctly, with and without setting the ''LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT'' environment variable | ||
+ | * Click on //Save configuration// to save the settings on the Windows desktop (e.g //asterix_VcXsrv.xlaunch//), then //Finish//. VcXsrv will automatically start.\\ The next time you want to start VcXsrv, just click on the //asterix_VcXsrv.xlaunch// file that you have saved on your desktop | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Notes ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Once you have started VcXsrv and logged in with you account on one of the asterix servers, it is highly suggested to **activate the windows wireframe moving mode** by typing:\\ ''gconftool-2 %%--%%set /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources %%--%%type bool true'' | ||
+ | * If you just need to run an //X server// (instead of using XDMCP), e.g. when you are outside LSCE, just start //VcXsrv// from the Windows Start Menu | ||
