Hi all, I'm working in a project where I need to make a remoting control of Linux based ARM board (iMX1 from Freescale). I think OpenSSH would be a good solution, but I have a little problem. As you know, normally there's no X framework in an embedded device, and I work using DirectFB to make my graphical apps. The question is: is there any chance to work with OpenSSH but not using X framework? I know I can work by console, but I need to see what's happening in my TFT screen. Thanks in advance, best regards, Gorka Luarizayerdi

OpenSSH doesn't do much special for X other than provide a way for X clients and servers to talk over the encrypted channel.> I know I can work by console, but I need to see what's happening in my TFT screen.Have you considered something like VNC for your framebuffer? That can be tunneled over SSH pretty easily and would seem better suited to your requirements. -- Darren Tucker (dtucker at zip.com.au) GPG key 8FF4FA69 / D9A3 86E9 7EEE AF4B B2D4 37C9 C982 80C7 8FF4 FA69 Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgement.
