In /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc, try changing the following: "exec /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp" to read: "exec /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 " The X server will not listen for external tcp connections (by default for security reasons) unless the "-nolisten tcp" option is removed. You also need to do this to get XDMCP to work. This "might "be your problem. Other times I have seen this message is from the Xauthority file when trying to open up a display (xterm) after su to root from a user account. There is a solution for this too.... but I cannot recall exactly what it is. It has something to do with modifying the xauthority file....I think. Cheers, -Don Spoon-
