Hi, > You're right I had forgotten that the xauth file needs to contain the > displaynr, so there is no easy fix here I'm afraid. That's not true actually. The xauth file can have a display wildcard, but the xauth command doesn't support generating xauth files with display wildcards.

I would go a step further and just always do what the -autodisplayconfig line does, implicitly. Of course, if the caller passes in a -auth line and $DISPLAY, use the ones passed in, but always do -displayfd no matter what, since -displayfd works fine with a passed in $DISPLAY and is still useful for getting ready notification without having to use unix signal handlers. --Ray _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
