dgl error (access): dgl server access denied

[clhona]

Hello, I'm using a quite old silicon graphics workstation (with irix) remotly from my suse linux box via rsh. I can log on the machine with no problem but I can't open any graphical application. For example "jot" (a graphical text editor):

dgl error (access): dgl server access denied - 192.xxx.xxx.xxx:0
dgl error (default init): default dglopen(192.xxx.xxx.xxx:x,x) returned -13

I read on the net this DGL is running only on irix...does anybody has info on that?
thank you
Claudio

DGL (Distributed Graphics Library, purely an SGI product) applications are probably not going to display on an X-server unless it is running IRIX. Try a different application, such as "xterm", with the DISPLAY environmental variable (on the client side!) set to the server's X-server numbered zero, as in:
setenv DISPLAY 192.168.2.129:0 # on the client
and also
xhost client-ip-address | client-hostname # on the X-server

That's the basic formula for remote displays running on an IRIX client; of course, SuSE may be doing some tricks of its own!
