"xhost +localhost" stopped working for me after upgrading SuSE from 8.0 to 9.2 I guess this is some difference between xfree and xorg, or maybe it's the "-nolisten tcp" option in startx. For whatever reason, the syntax has changed: Now it is "xhost +local:localhost" - Jeff . __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
