Not compile time as the only available switch is '-nolisten <proto>' there is no equivelent -listen switch. If you're using a graphical login (xdm, wdm, gdm, ...), the config for the Display manager is used not /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc, which is used when you "startx" from the commandline. Using wdm the gonfig you want is in /etc/X11/wdm/Xservers. Since all of these display managers are essentially hacked versions of xdm, I suspect the file conventions are the same. -Jon
