Hey everyone.
I'm relatively new to linux, but I'm an old hand (20+) years with Unix
in general and I've used alot of X windows. Recently, I've started
getting serious about using it on my home network and I am boggled by this.
Lets narrow this down to a single PC on a local network.
If I type:
%xterm
it brings up an xterm as one might expect.
If I type:
%xterm -display "localhost:0"
I get a long delay followed by:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:0
The same occurs with any display other than ":0.0"...
I have xhost + set, so that should not be the problem.
I have three systems. Two of the 3 behave this way.
Ideas? Is there some sort of authentication or security beyond xhost +
that I may need to do on the 2 broken systems?
Thanks.
Drool
