Title: X11/Xwindows server for AmigaOS?
Post by: billt on November 26, 2004, 07:06:48 PM

Hey guys, I'm looking for an X11 Xwindows server/client package for AmigaOS. About all I can find is the port done by Holger Kruse, who of course no longer supports it and I imagine it's old. Is there anything else to choose from? I'd like to use this to access GUI programs on my linux boxen. Just got X access working on my PC with Cygwin, but would like to do the same on my Amiga.

On Amiga is an 060, PicassoIV, OS3.9. The other Amiga in an AmigaOne with OS4. I'd like the possibility of having both accessing my Linux boxen...

Thanks for any help!

Try Xami (http://dspach.free.fr/amiga/xami/index.html), it's free.

If you just want to control it remotely, vnc would probably be a better solution. Saves the amiga having to run a large binary etc.
