I am running FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE. 1. Whenever I start X, I see the information shown in the following file - https://beastie.wananchi.com/~wash/XFree86-log.txt This, while I actually have installed v4.3 from the ports. Is it that some files are still lurking somewhere or what?? Why does it not show 4.3.x 2. After I upgraded to ver 4.3.x some applications which used to display using remote X to the remote box stopped working and give an error like: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 62.8.64.13:0.0 (well, that is the real IP). wash@ns2 ('tty') ~ 3 -> echo $DISPLAY 62.8.64.13:0.0 wash@ns2 ('tty') ~ 2 -> xcalc Error: Can't open display: 62.8.64.13:0.0 I am wondering what I'm missing.
