This may seem like an obvious question, have you a look in the messages/syslog file on the xserver itself? Perhaps its coming across permissional errors.
With the xserver running run the command in an shell prompt: $ xhost + That'll disable X security while you debug the issue. One last thing to check, in the file /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc make sure there is no reference to the switch -nolisten tcp ... if so, delete it That might work :) On Wed, Sep 05, 2001 at 01:41:34PM -0400, C.
