You do not want to run the X server on the Z10, you run the X server on the desktop machine you are going to use as a display. The default startx script tries to start a X server on the same host -- which it's not going to do because z machines don't have frame buffers. If you are in bash on the Linux guest, start X on your desktop system, make sure you have run 'xhost +remote.linux.system' on the desktop system and use: set DISPLAY=your.desktop.workstation:0.0;export DISPLAY on the remote guest. And then run bochs. The DISPLAY environment variable is used by the X libraries to figure out where to actually send the display information. This is true for all X applications. You can test if you set it up right by doing the above set command and then typing: 'xterm &'. If a window appears on your desktop, you're ready to go. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
