Remote client display to Leopard X11


  • Subject: Remote client display to Leopard X11

This X11 environment seems rather fragile. I finally managed to get X11 windows from my Solaris box to display back to my Leopard MacBook by using ssh instead of telnet. Then I made the mistake of trying to telnet from my MacBook to Solaris, and manually setting DISPLAY to localhost:10.0.

When I accessed xclock It failed with the error:
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).


which didn't bother me too much, I really didn't have very high hopes that it would work.

But now I can no longer display back from my Solaris box to my MacBook, even using ssh. I get the error

$ xclock
/tmp/launch-TvW8ES/: unknown host. (nodename nor servname provided, or not known)
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).


Any suggestions on fixing the problem would be appreciated.

Rick
