That definately means that the screen isn't there to begin with.
If you have Xwin or Xvision or any of those Windoze based X servers then you
can do this:

export DISPLAY=WindozeIP:0
printool   # Or whatever GUI program

and it will output to the WIndoze machine.

thanks,

nothing is listening on port 6000 at all. in fact i can't find it in
/etc/services either.

what should be listening there?
this probably explains why it isn't working :)

I have to add, that i'm using xfree86 4 if that makes a difference?

thanks again.
