I have two linux boxes: 1 running RH8 with a voodoo3 vid card with monitpr capble or 1200x768. The second box is a very old machine running "Tiny Linux" and has a vga card and an old tiny monitor.

I'd like to use the RH8 box as a server. Is there a way to login from console on the TinyLinux box and request a KDE session with a different xf86config file running on the RH8 box?

I think X is capable of this but am not having a lot of luck finding how its done.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Easy. Start a VNC server session on the Redhat box. You can set any size/resolution you want (640x480x8 bit color, 1280x1024x24 bit color, etc). Using VNC client on the Tiny Linux box, you connect to the server on the redhat box. If you go to /usr/share/doc/vnc-doc-3.3.3r2 on the Redhat hox, (assuming you installed VNC), it tells you how to accomplish this. There are tons of posts on VNC here as well.
