It has just always been that way because back when X Window was originally written most computers were not powerful enough to run the program. Computers have changed, X Window hasn't. Start a terminal and issue these commands: $ netstat -a | grep X11 That will show you the ports your X server is running on among other things. $ ps aux | grep -i x This will show you your server and client processes. I'm not sure what knowing any of this will do for you today. There was a time when it was more important information though. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
