Changing it while the XOrg Server is active breaks as you've found (The current running XOrg hostname is compared with the new hostname and since the hostnames aren't equal, reauthorization is required to "approve" the new location of $SISPLAY). Perhaps the real question should be why are you changing your hostname | |
