As I understand, you switch to runlevel 3, xdm gets killed and then you do 'startx' to start X again? > Some of the x-servers messages: [snip] > AUDIT: Sun Oct 26 13:04:05 1997: 427 X: client 3 rejected from IP > 193.96.166.51 port 1087 > Xlib: connection to "Winona:0.0" refused by server > Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server > xrdb: Can't open display 'Winona:0' > AUDIT: Sun Oct 26 13:04:06 1997: 427 X: client 2 rejected from IP > 193.96.166.51 port 1086 > AUDIT: Sun Oct 26 13:04:06 1997: 427 X: client 3 rejected from IP > 193.96.166.51 port 1089 > [...] > waiting for X server to shut down Try doing this before you type 'startx': $ rm ~/.Xauthority And after you started X, do this: $ xauth list I tried this, and it only contains an entry for hostname/unix:0 and not for hostname:0.0, which is what you need. In /usr/X11R6/bin/startx, there is this line: xauth add $display . `mcookie` I suggest you add this line under the above line: xauth add `hostname`$display . `mcookie` I think this should solve your problem. However, you haven't said why you want to have $DIAPLAY set to hostname:0.0 instead of :0 . I was told once that using :0 works faster, but I am no expert on this.
