Thanks to Peter Kunst, Hong Duong, Sean Walmsley, Crist Clark, Matt Clausen, Mr. D R Hughes, Francisco Roque , John Hallman, and Rodney Rodgers for responding. Almost all said to 'xhost +' or 'ssh -X', but that wasn't the problem (as stated in my original post). And the Grammy goes to.... Sean Walmsley pointed out that Xsun was starting with "-nolisten" because of options in the service configuration. He says: svccfg -s x11-server setprop options/tcp_listen = true svcadm refresh x11-server I set "options/tcp_listen=true" but couldn't refresh x11-server (no such service). Instead, it worked fine once I logged out and then logged back in. Don't know what could have changed this in any recent patches. Can't remember the last time I *NEEDED* to export DISPLAY, but it used to work just fine and then it stopped. -----Forwarded Message----- > From: Sal Serafino <serafino@cshl.edu> > To: Sun Managers List <sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org> > Subject: DISPLAY issue > Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 13:00:18 -0500 > > Hi all- > > Strange thing happening that I can't figure out.
