Two questions:
I) I used to have in my .login
setenv DISPLAY :0
but then when I added the /usr/etc/resolv.conf file
nameserver 131.169.200.2
hostresorder local bind
in order avoid the error
>xemacs somefile &
[2] 588
> X server not responding. Check your DISPLAY environment variable.
I had to the line in my login file to
setenv DISPLAY localhost:0
Anyone know what's going on here? I don't have the xemacs man page so I haven't
found any info. on the DISPLAY environment variable. xterm and xman at least
works fine with the original DISPLAY :0 or with localhost:0.
This leads me to my 2nd question.
II) Is there an easy way, given a random environment variable, to find out to
which program(s) it belongs?
