A pure novice's question: I have been unsucessful in getting X11 on my Sun 3/260 to run (xinit) without specifying the -display option. My copy of X11 can't seem to grok the current setting of the DISPLAY environment variable. Instead, I get the message "X Toolkit Error: Can't open display: unix:0". The xhost program Can't open display either. If I use -display, all works well but I assumed that I wouldn't have to if DISPLAY was specified. (Yes, the DISPLAY hostname is in the X0.hosts file). Any suggestions by mail or posting would be appreciared. -- Gary M.
