RE: startxwin/XWin won't start properly

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

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


My current procedure to start X is as follows:

1. do not set $DISPLAY anywhere. It is just empty.
2. open MinTTY
3. type something like "startxwin /usr/bin/emacs"

That's about it.

regards,
Markus
