qwijibow 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2005 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 Xserversbut 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 ???

qwijibow 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2005 Well... in weeks this thread has has almost no views, and no reply's.ive found the answer, and for the unlikely probability that anyone else needs this answer.....the new config file is called kderc.i suppose different distro's may puy iy in different places, so the best way to find it would be ... updatedb && locate kderc | grep 3.4 the grep statement is there to ilter out any old configs from kde-3.3 that may have survived.Search for the listenTCP=no line, and change it to yes, then re-start X.
