- Subject: 20010504: xdpyinfo for Linux box from Talbot in Phx
- Date: Mon, 07 May 2001 20:30:00 -0600
Talbot, The xdpyinfo does show your default visual is 8 bits. I'm assuming you are running in a csh. I saw your setenv line below for your DISPLAY variable. I assumed you ment: % setenv DISPLAY met1.la.asu.edu:0 % ntl instead you have: >>> setenv met1.la.asu.edu DISPLAY:0 (this is the Linux box) >>>ntl If you are actually typing what you show below, then that can be the problem since you would not be contacting your LInux system display- you probably are contacting the Alpoha X server which you aren't allowed to do. If that isn't the problem.... Have you tried using KDE or FVWM instead of GNOME?
