Looks like I am using the -nolisten thing. So far I've not found where
to reconfigure that though...

(NOTE: Godzilla is FC2. My Gentoo box is rebuilding at this time.) 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ps aux | grep nolisten
root      3119  1.7  3.6 30320 28036 ?       S    07:28   4:03
/usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -audit 0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7

I did some Googling and it seemed to suggest that I should look at
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and make sure that DisallowTCP=true is commented
out. Actually in my file that is already commented out so I'm
wondering if this is the right config file. It is the only one I find
with slocate.

Is there some other config file on FC2 that effects this sort of thing? 

Maybe it's somethign completely different though. 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mark]$ xeyes
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mark]$ xeyes -display :0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mark]$ xeyes -display :0.0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mark]$ xeyes -display :1
Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
 
Error: Can't open display: :1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mark]$

As I understand this protocol using :1.0 or :0.0 is local
communication while Godzilla:1.0 would be tcpip based. If that's true
I cannot even start an app from display :0 on display :1 locally!

Thanks in advance,
Mark
