Be sure to set the XFS_SERVER variable in the lts.conf file

That is ok. But you have to modify the file "/etc/X11/fs/config" also
and comment out the "no-listen = tcp" option which prevents xfs to
accept remote connections. That should be the problem you encounter.

So it is. The "-1" is a "hack" to access a local socket in XFree, as I
understand
the port.
Go for port 7100 and modify /etc/X11/fs/config, then everything should
work fine
(as it does here).
So long,
