tlug: xset

[Jim Schweizer <schweiz@example.com>]

Hi all,

This problem just seemed to pop out of nowhere....

I was trying to get navigator4.5 to start and I kept getting
dissed with xset errors.

Well, after a little investigation, I didn't find a solution so
I started looking at the system itself. That's when I found I
couldn't telnet to localhost in an xterm.

I get the error:

TRANS(SocketINETConnect) () can't get address for wormhole
xset:  unable to open display "wormhole:0.0"

So, I thought maybe this is an XDM problem so I rebooted to
runlevel 5 (Slackware) and saw

xset: unable to open display ""

_before_ the login. Never saw that before....

Can anyone clue me in as to why this might be happening??

Thanks,

Jim S.
