RE: startxwin/XWin won't start properly


I don't see any difference if I set DISPLAY to :0.0 or 127.0.0.1:0.0.  However, in the past its only worked if I set to 127.0.0.1:0.0

"Bradley, Mike" <mike_bradley@mentor.com> was heard to say:

$DISPLAY is empty over here unless I manually set it. But then, I'm  
not sure if it has something to do with your problems, as  
127.0.0.1:0.0 points to the first display on localhost, which IMHO  
isn't all that wrong. What happens if you set $DISPLAY manually, e.g.  
to ":0.0". This always worked fine for me.

Markus
