  1. Get WeirdX by Wesley+Felter · · Score: 1 · on X On OSX Now Free

    If you want to use X and Quartz apps at the same time, get WeirdX. It's not fast, but it works.

  2. Re:It's *free*, not the best :) by Wesley+Felter · · Score: 1 · on X On OSX Now Free

    Yeah, using VNC just so you can run X apps is a kludge; why not just use WeirdX?

  3. Re:X-Windows Client (server?) in Java? by jwambach · · Score: 1 · on X Windows Must Die!

    You can use WierdX which is a GPL pure Java X window system.

    Where did you find a Java Terminal server client, and does it work with the newer terminal services in win 2000? Is it available publicly?

  4. WeirdX vs. WiredX by Rhys+Dyfrgi · · Score: 4 · on X-Server with Alpha Transparency
    WeirdX and WiredX are different things. WiredX comes in two versions, WiredX and WiredX-Lite, which are described on WiredX's web site. WiredX.net was created by JCraft, who also created WeirdX, the GPL derivation of the Java X server.


    WeirdX is the one with the transparency hack. WiredX does NOT have this.

  5. Time for trolls to show up by rcromwell2 · · Score: 1 · on Java 2 for Linux Released & Blackdown Gets Creds

    Let's see how many we get on this story:

    • 1) Sun sucks
    • 2) Java sucks
    • 3) slow
    • 4) use Perl!
    • 5) blah blah blah

    Offtopic: If you don't have an X-server, JavaLobby posted a story about a very nice GPL'ed Xserver/Esound/Truetype server written in Java at called WeirdX Even runs as an applet. Very nice if all you have is a Windows/Mac box, or are at a public terminal/cybercafe and need to remote-X from your Linux box. :) Mostly impressive because a single guy wrote an X server from scratch in a short period of time.

  6. WiredX: Java X server by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Free X Server for Windows?

    On an X Resources page I found a link to the WiredX X server, apparently runs on java in a browser (possibly standalone also, I didn't spend a lot of time at the site). http://www.jcraft.com/wiredx/ I have absolutely no experience in remote X usage, so I don't know how useful this might be. I use VNC. =P Only problem I have with it is that the Java client seems to consistently crash Netscape on a Mac.. Annoying in those rare cases where I have to access my PC from one. Lime
