Subject: X -> can't access display 0:
Date: Fri, 29 May 1992 13:55:32 GMT


I have gotten X up and running on my system with little trouble!
Later I will post my Xconfig info for my system (I am not near
my machine).

Anyway, xinitrc works for the most part. I get xclock and xterm
find, twm starts up. But then if I want to run any more xprograms
I get an error to the effect of can't access display 0:. What
have I done wrong? Well, I have set the /usr/X386/bin/* to root/root.
My environment has DISPLAY="0:". I can't think of anything else.
Hmmm.

Next question, how _exactly_ do I join the xwindows mailing list???
(Perhaps listing the command to get the different topics from the
 mailing list - ie/ send a command such as 'topics' to linux-activists-
 requests ... or list them in the help file?)

Thanks for the great system that has been put together guys! I hope
that I can be of some help in the future!!!
