- Few days ago, I posted a question to ask everybody how to
- start X clients on USL svr4 and displayed on an X server
- with DISPLAY number other than 0.
-
- The following command won't work:
-
- xterm -display xzy:1
-
- The error message is "Can't not open display".
-
- With the great help from people at USL, I have the answer from
- kumar@usl.com:
-
- > assuming you are trying to run USL clients against various servers
- > with display set to non-zero, you need to do one thing
- >
- > In your /etc/services file, add the following:
- >
- > xserver1 6001/tcp # X server display 1
- >
- > If you are running our server as display 1 (ie: X :1 &), you need
- > to do this on the server machine also, or else the remote USL
- > clients will not connect to our server.
-
- I wonder why I missed this. I guess because all the systems I have
- around here hardcoded port 6000 in their code or at least hardcoded
- the convention
- port for server n = (port for server 0) + n
-
- Do you know any other X that does the way USL does ?
- Of course I see this as a feature as long as users know about it.
