ok this is my problem I was trying to launch X from within an emacs
shell buffer. It seems to not work from there, but perfectly from the
console.
I'd like to know how to get it to run from the emacs shell.
Having managed to get the xserver running, I've hit my next problem.
I can't launch X apps from another machine. I've tried
several things.
xhost +
which i beleive allows any host to connect to the server. I
know not very secure, but I am trying to get things working before i
tighten things up.
I exported the display on the other machine as export DISPLAY=hostname:0
when trying to launch an app i get:
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: erno = 111
I also tried enabling X11 forwarding in the ssh connection. It didn't
seem to export a display variable and didn't make any difference to
the error message.
Anyone seen this one before? searching on google didn't yeild anything
useful that I could find.
Thanks again.
Bart
