Whoops. I thought that the X server and the client were on the same machine. 
I apologize.

The X server is the machine with the monitor. If there are two
different machines, then it looks as if the problem is with the
Exceed. That is where you need to look for locks and protection
issues. Make sure that you have run the xhost command (or the
equivalent on the Exceed) so that the Exceed allows clients running
on the FreeBSD machine (such as xdm and xterm) to display on the
screen of the Exceed.
