Starting in Passive Startup Mode

This startup mode starts the X server without making any initial attempt to connect to a specific host. You must use an external mechanism, such as a Telnet client, to start X applications. You can also use Xstart to start X applications. For more information, see Connecting to Hosts with Xstart.

To select the Passive startup mode:

  1. Select the Xconfig file in which you want to enable passive startup and open the Xconfig dialog box.
  2. On the Communication page, select Passive from the Startup Mode drop-down list.
  3. Click OK to save changes and return to the previous dialog box or click Apply and select another tab to continue modifying the Xconfig file.
    Note: 
      You can also switch from XDMCP Broadcast startup mode to Passive startup mode from the XDMCP Display Manager Chooser by clicking Passive.
