[Qemu-devel] X11 redirection with slirp

[Qemu-devel] X11 redirection with slirp

[Stealth Dave]

This is basically a HOWTO question.  I'm working on a pet project where 
I would like run an X11 window on the host system (Mac OS X 10.3) from 
an X11 server on the guest, preferably without running a display on the 
guest at all.  The guest is running a custom linux install which is 
basically an updated version of the linux-test distro to a 2.6.14 
kernel and busybox system with networking enabled.  There's an example 
using tun/tap in the docs, but it's a little sparse on details.  Part 
of my dilemma is my lack of knowledge with xservers (I'm using Xorg).  
Can someone help, or point to some clear do-it-yourself examples?

Thanks,
- Dave

It should be as easy running:

$ export DISPLAY=10.0.2.2:0

in your busybox shell, followed by a usual command that you use to run
X programs, for example:

$ xterm&

or

$ gnome-session

That should work if you network is configured (and provided 10.0.2.2
is the host machine's IP address, as is by default). Sometimes to
allow remote TCP/IP X clients on the host you will need to run:
$ xhost +

Yep, easy as that, all right!  I did have to run "xhost +localhost" on 
the host X11 system, but after that everything was smooth sailing!

Thanks!
