Re: XServer Error Message
You can check the options that X is running with this command:
ps -jxww
or
ps -auxww
If you see x running with the no-listen tcp it's probably set during startup. Check the X startup scripts, I'm not 100% sure but I think they are in /etc/X11/. Recursive grep will find it
grep -ri no-listen /etc/X11/
There is a security concern with opening X to tcp connections. You may want to just ssh instead of telnet and turn on the X forwarding options like so:
ssh -X user@rh8.0machine
then export your DISPLAY env var.

Re: XServer Error Message
try "echo $DISPLAY" at a command line. If it doesn't come back with anything then it isn't set. have a look in the .profile or .bash_profile for the user and see if someone has commented it out.
Should be like
DISPLAY=$( who -mu | cut -d"(" -f1 | tr ")" ":" )0.0 ; export DISPLAY

Re: XServer Error Message
Looks like the display is missing, try the following
$ set DISPLAY
$ export DISPLAY

Re: XServer Error Message
There is no export command on the remote RH 8 server. Is it an rpm that can be downloaded?

Re: XServer Error Message
The export command is a built-in part of your shell environment. If you are on fc3 it is most probably the BASH shell. It will be there somewhere - trust us.
Anyhoo - that doesn't solve your real problem...
I take it that the xserver is ok on the FC3 machine and that X apps run ok e.g. xclock or whatever.
Try explicitly setting your display variable on the RH8 box as DISPLAY=

Re: XServer Error Message
1.)) editing this file
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf <<-----
and changing the disallow tcp parameter to false.
# Note: Anytime we find a -query or -indirect on the command line we do
# not add a "-nolisten tcp", as then the query just wouldn't work, so
# this setting only affects truly local sessions.
DisallowTCP=false
2)) Logout of x. ctrl+alt+backspace
3)) Log into a root shell
switch to init3 and then to init5 by running
init 3
your graphical greeter should pop back up once you change back to init 5.
when you change to init 3 you will not get a promt. when the last service reads ok after issuing the init 3 command type in init 5 and upon pressing enter you will get the graphical greeter login.
log log into the window manager of your choice
open a terminal to ssh to your server
ssh -X
export DISPLAY=
this worked for me I hope I did not leave a step out.

Re: XServer Error Message
seems like DISPLAYMANGER has forbiden to listen on port 6000
just do following
on remote export DISPLAY=IP:0.0 where 0.0 means first display first monitor
and change gdm.conf on local
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
to
DisallowTCP=false
