Thanks to all that have responded, which was more that I could list. The overall concensus was to use XVFB or VNC. I believe both would have worked just fine. What I have found out from my co-worker was that he did indeed have a graphics card in that machine. Just didn't have a head or keyboard hooked up... So I connected his server into a Rariton KVM Switch and let him run the xhost + from a console. Had to run fbconfig -res 1024x768x75 on his server to drop the resolution to work through the Rariton switch. I have no idea why Oracle and the Java based gui webinterface need a Xserver but it does. Thanks Again.. There simply is NO other place to get the answers as fast as going to the people on this list.... Dave Original Post I am helping out a co-worker with a Oracle issue. The box is a SunFire 480R running Solaris 8. It is a rack mounted server in a headless configuration. But he needs to allow 9iAS (oracle user) access to the X Server, the problem is without having a console window how does one allow such a connection. I have read the document on Oracle Metalink, but I am still not sure how to do it. I am attaching the article from Metalink. Has anyone ran into this problem and is there a simple fix? I just can grasp what they are saying. Thanks in advance for the help. _____________________________ Dave Landsiedel System Administrator Bobcat Company 521 South 22nd Street Bismarck ND 58504 Phone 701-222-5957 Email dave_landsiedel@bobcat.com _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Feb 16 16:14:40 2004
