Hi!
You should accept connection from X servers to your tty with
xhost +
in any xterm or konsole in the mandrake machine.
(this accept from everyone...... use with care)
More info
man xhost
XHOST(1) XHOST(1)
NAME
xhost - server access control program for X
SYNOPSIS
xhost [[+-]name ...]
DESCRIPTION
The xhost program is used to add and delete host names or
user names to the list allowed to make connections to the
X server. In the case of hosts, this provides a rudimen
tary form of privacy control and security. It is only
sufficient for a workstation (single user) environment,
although it does limit the worst abuses. Environments
which require more sophisticated measures should implement
the user-based mechanism or use the hooks in the protocol
for passing other authentication data to the server.
