How to run xwinnmr on idefix and display on milou:

1. You want the data on idefix, so copy it to:
   • /sb/apps/bruker/data/user/nmr/
2. You need to run it in 8-bit color:
   • Go to /etc/X11/xdm/
     I've created a link called Xservers, which points to Xservers.orig.
   • As root, change it to point to Xservers.8bpp, like this:
     
       [root@milou xdm]#ln -sf Xservers.8bpp Xservers
     
   • Then restart the Xserver with <ctrl><alt><bksp>
     or logout & hit 'restart Xserver' button in Mandrake
   • login again, rlogin idefix, export DISPLAY=yourhost:0.0
     and run /sb/apps/bruker/xwinnmr
   • When finished, remember to change it back, using
     
       [root@milou xdm]#ln -sf Xservers.orig Xservers
     

Note 8/15/01:

rlogin is no longer supported
do not use slogin; this somehow breaks my procedure
use ssh instead
and -c blowfish will be slightly faster

Note 7/24/03:

The new monitor doesn't work with the 8bpp setting (locks up computer); may be the scan rate.
new script '8bitVNC' works, and kills VNC when done to minimize security risk
