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. -- Brent J.
