Re: Can't Open Display

Hmm... I got that message too. It is definitely work in progress and Xwin
seems to work for some but not others. I did check my Xfree86 installation by
using another X-server Exceed, X runs! So definitely, Xwin appears to run but
nothing shows on the screen.  After 3 minutes or so, I got "Can't open display"
message.
