I had the same problem and decided to install the USB perimssion daemon by myself, because I couldn't find any Debian package to deal with that problem. Take a look at http://www.xena.uklinux.net/Linux/usb_perms.html The init script is made for SuSE I think, so you must create one by yourself. > 2. I want to export my display on anothre computer.

I seriously recommend to use ssh instead of unencrypted X11 connections. However, It seems that your X server has been started with the "-nolisten tcp" option for security reasons. Are you using "gdm"? Look at /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. Using xdm? Try /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. Change the line that starts the X server you are dealing with (probably :0). Please use ssh instead. Try $ ssh -x client and look at $ echo $DISPLAY It should look like "localhost:10" or so. If not, enable X11 forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config at the X11 clients side. When done, just type "xterm". Hope this will help you. If not, request more details. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
