Need Xorg To Listen On Network When Started By, kdm-3.4
 

I have 64bit Gentoo, but untill windows 64bit eddition is released, i need to use a 32bit media player to interface with the 32bit MS-windows codecs for playing media such as ASF or WMV.

to do this, i have created a 32bit envoronment within my 64bit OS.
I need the 32bit envoronment to connect to the Xserver in the 64bit OS.

normally this is as simple as setting the display variable to "127.0.0.1:0"
but the graphical X server is not listening for incomming connections on port 6000.

I know this is done by the KDE login manager (KDM) it dissables tcp logins.
In KDE 3.3, you needed to comment out a "nolisten" line in a config file called Xservers

but ive recently upgraded to KDE-3.4. there is no Xservers config file, they must have moved that setting somwhere else.

Does anyone know where ???

I saw in the kdmrc file on a KDE 3.4 install that it mentions the Xservers file, even though it doesn't exist. My guess is that you can just try to create a custom Xservers file. Also look more at the kdmrc file, perhaps there's an option to enable what you want.

Fantaastic !!!

The answer, for anyone else who happens to stumble across this post is to locate that kdmrc file, find the line

and comment it out.

I have the same problem. I edited /etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc (also pointed to by /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc), found the aformentioned line, and commented it out. And Xorg still runs with a -nolisten as seen from my process list:

I've grep'd all over the place looking for "nolisten". Where else could this be getting turned on?
