[FreeNX-kNX] nxagent failed to start with: NXAGENT: Fatal IO error on display

[Mark Scheufele]

Hi,

I have installed the following RPMs on a RHEL3 machine
nx-1.5.0-12.el3.at, freenx-0.4.4-6.el3.at, nxclient-1.5.0-113 (I know
the freenx and nx versions are older but I couldn't find any newer
packages for RHEL3).

When I start nxclient the authentication completes and the session is
for some time shown as running when issuing the command "nxserver
--list". But after some time the error "Error: nxagent failed to start
with: NXAGENT: Fatal IO error on display" appears in the nxserver.log
file.

Here is a transcript of the whole session from nxserver.log
