I tried the wikipedia example and got my old friend again: -------------------------------------------------- [root@iam log]# Xvfb :1 & [1] 6791 [root@iam log]# xv -display :1 & [2] 6793 [root@iam log]# AUDIT: Mon Aug 11 23:26:37 2008: 6791 Xvfb: client 1 rejected from local host (uid 0) Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified xv: Can't open display --------------------------------------------------- THAT kinda error is typical of that which busts my jewels. Does anyone suppose that it's related to gdm?? Should I use xdm?? Is there some securetty config file to edit or something of that nature?? Xvfb seems to want to work, but somehow gets rejected. REFUSED! This stick has beaten me for several months or more. I could use some relief! :) Ric -- ---------------------------------------------------- My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
