Hi folks,
I'm trying to run GNU Emacs (18.??) on my Sun 3 (3.4) under X11R3. I
can only get it to work if I "setenv DISPLAY unix:0.0". However, if I
try to setenv DISPLAY to anything else, e.g. <machine-name>:0.0, I get
a timeout message from emacs: unable to connect to server, check
DISPLAY environment variable.
Has anyone seen this before? Does it sound like a site specific
configuration problem, an emacs problem, or an X problem?
I've tried using the -d option when invoking emacs, but this doesn't
seem to work. Has anyone had any success using this option? I've
tried both the following forms:
gnuemacs -d apptek2:0.0 ("apptek2" is my machine name)
gnuemacs -dapptek2:0.0
This is a pain, because not being able to set DISPLAY the "right" way
prohibits me from running clients on other machines and using my
display.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance,
-Vartan
