Hi,

I am running Fedora-19 + latest updates and would like to make Xorg
listen to tcp connections for development.

I already set "xserver-allow-tcp=true" in /etc/lightdm/lightdm and
executed "xhost +", however I still get connection refused when
starting x-clients with DSIPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 :/

Any idea where this secret switch is hidden these days?

Thank you in advance, Clemens

Is, in fact, your DM lightdm (if it's not setting xserver-allow-tcp=true in lightdm doesn't make sense)? What do you see with a "ps
-ef | grep X"? Is X running with 'nolisten tcp' on when you do that? Is your firewall configured to allow TCP connections to the X
server? Did you just misspell DISPLAY above or is that how it's spelled in your command line?
