I'm just trying to explain what I would like to do - the requirements I said earlier isn't set into stone - let me try again:
I've got a 1.4GHz Athlon PC and a 100MHz 486 laptop. I'd like the 100MHz laptop to "log in" and use the power of the Athlon rather than processing everything locally on the 486 - as much as possible would be nice.
Cheers - Piers

Is it possible at all for X on a computer to log in another computer remotely?
Yes. Look into XDMCP.
Another option would be VNC.
Not with the parameters he specified. Eg local X server, no remote X server.
His post is not clear, but I think he means it the other way around (parenthesis are mine):
I.e. one computer has XDM and WMaker on it, but without an XFree86 server (the client?), another computer has a XFree86 server (the server?), the computer with WMaker on, logs on to the XFree86 and shows the XDM login dialog box (???), and then logs into the server, and see the whole display just as if it was on the other computer?
It's not exactly clear what he means, though, but this business of logging in to another computer's display is easily achievable with VNC, even if he has to scrap his original requirement details, whatever they were.
Cheers,
