What program is this?
At any rate, assuming you want the graphics output to be on your local machine, localhost:0 or :0 should be the string you want (0.0 if it's pedantic about the format). That corresponds to the first display on the current computer, which is what you're almost certainly using. |

in the install guide I read:
| Quote: | | By default, the Debian Linux X-Server does not accept TCP socket connections. Because Pathway Tools uses TCP, Debian systems need the string "-nolisten tcp" removed from all files in /etc/X11/ and its subdirectories in which the string occurs. Likewise for modern versions of Linux from the RedHat family, X-Server security has been tightend. To get around this, the file /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf can be edited, to set: |
so what type of family is gentoo?

Go into gdm setup, or System/Admin/Login Window if you're using Gnome and gdm to login. You can change settings in here to enable connecting to the X server. Specifically, Security tab and Deny TCP connections to Xserver.
Then you can connect using localhost:0.0
In case gdmsetup says you need to run as root, press ALT-F2 and then type gdmsetup, or open a console window, su to root and then run gdmsetup. |
