Thanks for the tip, removing -nolisten tcp in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc and
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers solved the problem.

May the default behaviour be without -nolisten tcp in woody. It's simpler for
everbody, isn't it ?

By the way, I compiled xmx (X protocol multiplexer). I've got some difficulties
with that due to color management. I don't know if it's woody issue or package
missing.

PS: there is no xmx package.

I'm sorry, I'm reading the list but I'm about a week on late these days.

May be good idea.

              "Requires Windows 95, NT 4.0, or better."
                    So... I installed it on Linux!
