Hello
I am completely puzzled by the following: I execute as a regular user : xhost + 127.0.0.1 then say su setenv DISPLAY 127.0.0.1:0.0 (root uses tcsh shell) Then acroread But it does not work, that is the message Error: Can't open display: 127.0.0.1:0.0 appears. I swore this worked after I installed knoppix 3.3 (with woody) later I upgraded to unstable/testing but did not try this Xconnection. Today I found out that the connection fails. I tried various things, create a new user, using a different window manager deleting .Xauth file etc, I am puzzled and the problem is I need this feature very much right now in order to use some X applications which I can only execute as a different user. Could I downgrade to woody? That would be a last desperate step before the re-installation. Thanks Uwe Brauer
