Re: [opendx-users] Re: Connection to X server failed - Error during initializatioin
This could be an OS limitation. You may need to investigate things like ulimit and see what a single process can use for memory. David It appears that OpenDX was asking for more memory than the OS allows. Once I set the memory option to 2010 and not anything higher, then the error Connection to server baal failed goes away. Strangely, though, 2010 MB seems not enough as I get this error on execute... Out of memory cannot expand data segment... ...which is the whole reason I bought 4GB of RAM in the first place.

As a work around, you can always set the DXHOST environment variable. Look at that for starters.
