A Brief Tour of the X Display Environment
Apress eBooks · 2009
This chapter is not an exhaustive discussion of the X Window System architecture; there are many books devoted to this topic. I will, however, explain how to send windows to remote displays. In short, an X-enabled application (xterm, xclock, xeyes, etc.) can be run from one system and the display (that is, the window) can be viewed on a totally separate system.
