[CLUE-Tech] for sale: wireless trackball; needed monitor cable, power splitter

Sat Sep 8 10:10:13 MDT 2001

I have a 2 month old Logitech wireless trackball for sale.  it supports
USB and PS/2, it has four buttons.  I have all the software and the
box.  I have to get a special mouse because of wrist problems, so I
don't need this.

I got it for $69, I'll sell it for $30

I also need to know of a good store to buy computer parts, I need a
monitor extension cable and a power splitter, I'd rather not go
someplace like CompUSA, if you know of a wholesaler, that would be good
too.

Thanks,
Brandon

Sorry Rick, you lost me.  Seems to me you want xterm to run on Redhat and display on NT,
right?  When I used to do that with Omni-X, there was no Xauth involved.

Omni-X had a dialog that you could put a command line in (we used rexec to execute it, but
I think there were rsh and telnet methods too).  You put the xterm command line in the
dialog, including all the options like display IP (omni-x can fill that out
automatically).

When you run that command line from omni-x, it asks you for a password (for rexec) and
runs the command on the server.  So xterm gets run as you, and displays on NT (I don't
think omni-x does any security - or is that the problem you're having?)

So I don't understand where your script (below) is used.  I don't think you're running the
xterm on NT and displaying on Redhat, are you?  (How do you run an xterm on NT?  I guess
it could be done, but I never seen it.)

Sorry I don't have omni-x handy to be more specific.  One final guess, in your script
below, should $display be $DISPLAY?
