Subject: Following update to XWin or xorg-server: changed syntax to get a xterm terminal window
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2015 11:29:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9D9AC45310887B40A7245734E850FBE1256D1D45@FS-MX02.frontier.local> (raw)

For ages I used
    XWin -nolock -nolisten local -multiwindow &
    xterm -display localhost:0.0
to get a xterm terminal.
Following recent updates I get a fatal error: "Cannot establish any listening sockets."
In the past, updates to XWin have sometimes led to similar difficulties, but I have always managed to iterate to a new successful joint syntax 
    XWin <arguments>
    xterm <arguments>
but this time I am totally stymied.
Can anybody offer me a working syntax please?
Thank you.
Fergus
