Launching X application from a Brandz zone
Hi.
I just created a brandz zone and installed the centos tarball provided at http://www.opensolaris.org/.
Everything works well and I had no problem forwarding X applications to my linux laptop: just set DISPLAY accordingly.
The problem is when I login from my solaris box: the only way I can launch X application is ssh-ing to the zone: if I login with zlogin, I can't because the application cannot open the display. I tried setting DISPLAY, I tried setting it with the IP of my machine, I tried xhost +... Nothing works.
The questions is: why cannot I open my local display but I have no problem when I ssh to the zone or login from my slackware laptop?
Thanks,
Enrico.

My first guess would be the X11 server doesn't listen on TCP on the global zone.
What says:
Code:
svccfg -s svc:/application/x11/x11-server listprop options/tcp_listen
?

options/tcp_listen boolean false

Which means a necessary condition for remote X11 to work isn't met.
You turn it on (if you don't care the security issues opening X11), restart the X server for the change to be applied and try again.

Thanks jlliagre.
Now that I know the reason, I'll stick with ssh!
