I'm sorry. I thought I had explained that this is a mixed set of
machines. 2 Gentoo and 4 FC2. I do not seem to have Xnest available on
any of the FC2 machines and really don't want to go down the path of
downloading and compiling anything for those 4 boxes. Thanks for the
input though.

Yes, I guess I've slowly learned that part.
1) I can run a local app and display it to display :0
2) I can use ssh and display an X app to display :0
3) Trying to run a local app and display it on display :1 fails. On
an FC2 box I start Xorg in one xterm:

In another xterm I then attempt to run xeyes and show it on display :1
[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]$
and in the original xterm where I started Xorg I see:
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.1.log", Time: Wed Mar 30 09:12:14 2005

That certainly has nothing to do with -nolisten tcp. The results are
identical on my Gentoo machines.
Cheers,
Mar
