Correct, and they didn't document the change properly either. Last time I checked the current version of the man page didn't describe the changed default. If they're going to mess with core functionality like that and not bother to document it, then I _would_ much rather that they wound down work on Xorg. > $ cat /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc > #!/bin/sh > exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp "$@" > > You need to remove the '-nolisten tcp' from /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc > That should do the trick. Incorrect, that's what you needed to do _before_ the change to the Xorg server. Now '-nolisten tcp' is the default so that argument does nothing. Instead to enable remote connections like X used to do without the '-nolisten tcp' option, you use the '-listen tcp' option in the same place: exec /usr/bin/X -listen tcp "$@" But I don't know whether that's the problem in Fedora, or even how they actually launch X within Wayland there (do they even use xinit or startx?). -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
