Looking back at the output from sockstat in my original post, X is running under root, so no amount of tinkering with files in $HOME is going to change anything. So I looked into XDM's configuration files in /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm, and found what change did the trick: $ cat /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers # # Xservers file, workstation prototype # # This file should contain an entry to start the server on the # local display; if you have more than one display (not screen), # you can add entries to the list (one per line). If you also # have some X terminals connected which do not support XDMCP, # you can add them here as well. Each X terminal line should # look like: # XTerminalName:0 foreign # :0 local /usr/local/bin/X -nolisten tcp :0 If there's batter way of doing this, please would someone let me know.
