That works only half-a**ed, very poorly from the pi or not at all, and linuxcnc gets hung in that event with no control gui, so I either have to power cycle the pi, or login from another ssh -Y session to issue a "sudo reboot". I think the pi doesn't like that I am running the nouveau driver on this machine. When lcnc does open a gui here, its very very slow, taking around 15 seconds to full draw the initial screen. But that does not appear to bother the other 4 machines. A geany session has no difficulty opening its gfx window on this machine from any of the other 4 x86 machines or from the pi. However, the other 4 are running x as default, two with xfce, and two using tde since they have the iron and memory to do it while taking a snooze or while busy. I did see, several times in my efforts to "startx" that x was disabled by being masked, whatever the heck that is. I am used to wheezy slang, but this is jessie, with a 4.4.4-??rtai kernel. Doing a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure X11-common' and leaving it at 'console users' only, didn't change anything that I could see. At this point, I am a stranger in a strange (jessie on a pi-3) land.
