There isn't a config file option (if no-one else adds one I might) but there is the command line switch "-nolisten inet6". This switch gets rid of the messages _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/ard:0 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6 which I otherwise get on my RedHat 6.2 machine, so I think it is disabling inet6 on this machine. Does this solve your problem ? _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
