But shouldn't they be connecting with display set to their local IP as in "192.168.1.10:0" otherwise it may be getting interpretted as trying to display on the web servers localhost. You probably don't need to worry about lock files, but if there are lock files, they will be in /tmp. >From one of your errors: Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again. If you have an X server running, it will have /tmp/.X0-lock, so you should quit X, then from a console, check that no .X0-lock, .X1-lock... files remain in /tmp. However, if an Xserver was running all along, and you were trying to launch a second, there will only be the one lock file, which will be for your running X session. If you wanted to start a second X session on the same box, you would use display 0:1, which should creat a .X1-lock file. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
