Michael, 1. I agree that wttyhx cannot work. If it is run by a non-root user, "pidof X Xorg Xgl" simply returns an empty string, so that
/proc/`pid of X Xorg Xgl`/cmdline becomes /proc/cmdline, which just consists of the boot command line of kernel. So, wttyhx can find no display informatinon. 2. Nevertheless, my previous message was based on my experiences, running wttyhx as root. Let me repeat my findings, just in case my previous message was unclear. A. If I run xdm and execute wttyhx as root, wttyhx returns the display information correctly. B. If I use starx to run X instead and execute wttyhx as root, wttyhx fails to deliver the display information. The cause of the problem seems to be that /proc/`pid of X Xorg Xgl`/cmdline only contains "/usr/bin/X11/X" in this case. Please let me know if you need any other information.
