How to set up the X server for Linux
How can I setup the X server so X client like Exceed (for window) can login ?
You have to start the X display manager (xdm) on the UNIX/Linux server. And Exceed is not an X client, it is the server. X clients are X programs such as xterm, Netscape, GIMP, .....

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Make that, to use whole screen, go to Xconfig->Window Mode.
Also check "Exit on Server reset" or it will be difficult to get Exceed to quit..

Broadcast still can't find the Linux host, how to set up Linux (from the installation), I have RedHat Linux and install custom then choose everything.
Login to the linux machine as root, and type:
xdm
and then
ps aux
and look for an xdm entry. If it is there, then it should work.
Instead of using broadcast, try choosing XDMCP-query in the Communications section of Xconfig. Press configure and in the "connect-host" box, put the ip address or name of your linux box.

Exceed said: "Fatal error. Manager unwilling" and close.
I try kdm, login and on Xterm type "ps aux", there is kdm entry on the list

Edit
/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
and look for a line that says:
# * any host can get a login prompt
and remove the hash.
