Hello,

I am facing a problem with X in FreeBSD 10.1. Don=C2=B4t seem to be complic=
ated
but can=C2=B4t figure out what=C2=B4s wrong.

I=C2=B4ve managed to install the binary for olvwm, compiled inside a jail
running 10.1 i386. Host is running 10.1 amd64.

X is started from 'startx', and .xinitrc has a simply call to olvwm.

# cat .xinitrc
olvwm

X is launched successfully but, I unable to open a xterm terminal or any
other client.

Switching to the console (ctrl + alt + f1) I see a message which says "Xt
error: Can=C2=B4t open display :0"

Then I logged in to console 2 (ctrl + alt + f2) and run a "xterm -display
:0". Coming back o X session (ctrl + alt + f*), my xterm was there, I was
able to launch all necessary programs.

Important to hightlight this is done in the localhost, no X11 forwarding,
nothing, console only since this is my desktop machine.

Advise are most welcome.

Thanks,
Luciano.
