I have a problem with remote X connections to X11 running on OS X
10.4.2.
On the local machine, I can run X applications OK, but only with
$DISPLAY set to :0.0
The following work:
# xeyes
# xeyes -display :0.0
The following do not:
# xeyes -display myhostname:0.0
Error: Can't open display: myhostname:0.0
# xeyes -display localhost:0.0
Error: Can't open display: localhost:0.0
# xeyes -display 127.0.0.1:0.0
Error: Can't open display: 127.0.0.1:0.0
If I try and connect from a remote machine, no error is reported, but
the application hangs, and nothing is displayed on the X server.
I've tried "xhost +", "ssh -X" and disabling the firewall, but to no
avail. What I find strange is that I can't connect from the local
machine when I specify a host name. I suspect the server is only
accepting connections via unix domain sockets for some reason.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
