LMX is Linux-based multi-user X WINDOW system developed by Longyan City OEE Computer Network Technology Co., Ltd., which allows multiple users to operate on a host with X Window graphics environment, each user has its own independent X Window graphics environment, the X Window operating environment between users is completely isolated, does not affect each other, each X Server controls its own input and output devices (keyboard, mouse, display), X Server control input and output devices can be completely detached from the console Since multiple users can share the same host at the same time, users can save a large number of hardware investments, so that a single Linux host system becomes a multi-user-operated X graphics workstation system.
In a single host, LMX can initiate multiple local X Server process instances, each local x Server process is active, and the input and output devices such as graphics cards, displays, keyboards, and mouses that are affiliated to the X Server process are controlled. Multiple users can use their own X Server on a host to operate the graphical interface.
LMX fully utilizes a strong computing capacity, multi-tasking feature, and multi-user processing capabilities of the Linux system, allowing a single host to simultaneously providing graphical interface services for multiple users. Traditionally, the X Server design in the X WINDOW system is based on single-user design and cannot be operated simultaneously for multiple users. LMX breaks through the traditional stand-alone conditions, X cannot make multiple users simultaneously limit the limitations, truly let the user feel real in using a multi-user system, and play the resource that can be used by the host.
Compare with the X hardware terminal program: X Hardware Terminal is X Server runs in the X hardware terminal of the user, and the plurality of X hardware terminals connect the multi-user sharing host through the Ethernet and host connections, run the X Client program in the host. There is a network delay between the host and the X hardware terminal. The reaction speed on the graphic display is slower than the local X Server, and the X hardware terminal is expensive, which is more expensive than a single set of PCs! LMX Multiple Local X Server is running on the same host while displaying on different monitors, and can handle their keyboard mouse devices, respectively. Not only can you be used as a local multi-user X workstation, but also as the X Server cluster of the remote host. LMX design philosophy: Let the user's terminal is thin and thin, playing all the resources, low cost, and high returns that the host can utilize.
The host running the LMX system extends the user terminal with the way to add a display, keyboard, and mouse. These terminals share the hardware and software resources of the same host, while in use and independence, with the basic functions of the ordinary X graphics workstation. A X workstation can be extended for each display, keyboard, and mouse. The number of scalable X workstations terminal is limited only to the number of PCI slots on the host
Run the LMX system, connect additional keyboards on the host, mouse, is a universal USB keyboard and mouse without a specific expansion card.
LMX is the first domestic, international leading X-thin client technology. At present, only HP 441 systems launched by HP companies worldwide, http://www.hp441.com HP441 system is hardware and software bundle implementation, with new The form of model appears. LMX is software implementation, which is even more elastic. (http://www.unixsp.com)
