You are indeed missing what startx is is about.
It is launching the X11 server and some X11 clients on the host where it is run, i.e. on Solaris in your case.
That's no surprise nothing shows up on the Linux display.
Oh I C .. Thnx..
So How do I pipe the gdm screen to my Linux host just using XDMCP ??
XDMCP is unsecure and being obsoleted on modern OSes.
If your goal is to see Solaris desktop on your Linux display, you might use Xephyr to run an X server in a windows and remotely display the Solaris graphic environment of your choice in it. This can be tunneled through ssh.
Assuming you want Solaris Gnome, that would be something like, on Linux:
Then, in the raw terminal window that should have appeared in the Xephyr one :
In the new terminal
If after a while, the windows decoration do not show up, (re)launch the windows manager:
Note that i tested that with Solaris 11, that might be slightly different with Solaris 10.
Should you want to run CDE, I thing just launching "dtwm" should be enough.
I am not clear with the part of concept of Tunneling using ssh.

Two question here, but it's only one on the protocol point of view.
If two persons use the same key to connect to a SSH server is there a risk they can decipher the other tunnel. In other terms is that less safe than if they have two separate keys.
Same question if two persons use the same user... (2 Replies)
