Hi! I've had trouble running Java Workshop and ICQ on our workstations. jws just sits there waiting for something, and ICQ won't connect. I have tried all sorts of things to get it weorking, but have always been puzzled, because it works on my home machine, and on our server! That's what I thought, but then I realized that I had never tried from the console, only trough my workstation X server. By default, the display variable is set to ":0.0", which is usually fine. But, when setting the DISPLAY variable to something more specific than :0.0, like localhost:0.0 or hostname:0.0, ICQ and JavaWorkshop suddenly start working! Is this a well knows fact? I have never seen anything like it before, anyway... Is it just for me this is happening? If not, I think it shall be documented on www.freebsd.org/java/. Anyway, I'm happy now! :-) Thanks, for all your work with the jdk! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
