Hi all,
(Another question, new thread.... Appreciate all the
help as I try to understand Debian and Linux.)
I have a machine running Debian Woody that's being
used as a server--no keyboard, no mouse, no monitor. I
have XDMCP set up so that I can log in to an X session
on the machine from another machine on my home
network.
The question: I want to slim down the machine as much
as I can (RAM is limited), and I don't want to load
stuff I don't have to. What do I really need in
XF86Config-4 for a machine that never has a local
display? Another way to put it is, does the video
card, monitor, mouse and keyboard information come
from the XF86Config-4 on the machine that's logging
in? Or the machine that's running X?
Perhaps most critically, do I need to have that i810
section with the 8MB of video RAM borrowed from main
memory?
Thanks,
rc
Here's XF86Config-4:
### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION
# XF86Config-4 (XFree86 server configuration file)
generated by dexconf, the
# Debian X Configuration tool, using values from the
debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the
XF86Config-4 manual page.
# (Type "man XF86Config-4" at the shell prompt.)
#
# If you want your changes to this file preserved by
dexconf, only make changes
# before the "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION" line above,
and/or after the
# "### END DEBCONF SECTION" line below.
#
# To change things within the debconf section, run the
command:
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
# as root. Also see "How do I add custom sections to
a dexconf-generated
# XF86Config or XF86Config-4 file?" in
/usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz.
