To set your sidplay (using sh or bash) $ export DISPLAY=ip:0.0 i.e. export DISPLAY=152.30.5.1:0.0 Then, from an xterm in the xwindows session you have running, you need to use xhost or xauth to fix the permissions to allow other clients to connect. $ xhost + wll woprk but is insecure. RTFM about xhost and xauth. Carl Mummert -- FForgive my spelling, I'm on a dialup telnet connection...
