I gave up on the Diamond Stealth 2001 video card and installed a Number 9
Motion 771 card.
Solaris likes it.
FreeBSD 2.1R likes it(mostly).
I can now issue a "startx" command and get an X session, however if I try to
use one of the other window managers(fvwm, or ovwm), I get the following :
TRANS(SocketINETConnect) () can't connect : errno=61
can't open display
I will get this same series of error messages if I issue an "xhost +" command.
I've tried setting the DISPLAY variable to several things( `hostname`:0.0,
unix:0.0, {hosts IP address}:0.0). What's different between tvwm(which I
believe startx uses by default) and the other wms ?
Any help will be appreciated.
TIA
