Very Computer

Hi all,

[ My system: Red Hat 6.0, Pentium II 350 MHz, 64 Mb ram ]

I use startx usually with a display-number parameter:

  startx -- :3

Increasing the number up to 10 works in my case.
11 and up have a problem:

AUDIT: Wed May 26 17:20:10 1999: 5637 Xwrapper: client 1 rejected from local
host
Xlib: connection to ":11.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server

What sort of authorization is happening for Xlib?
Is there an upperlimit for display number?
   (startx -- :25 ???)

Thanks,

Rob.

  case "$1" in
   :[0-9]) display="$1"
    ;;
  esac

 The fix is simple add a + at the right place.
   :[0-9]+) display="$1"

What this does is change the regular expression for matching only a
colon followed by a diget to a colon followed by one or more digets.

 After the above change you can go until you run out of 'pty's or
whatever.
