Running Solaris apps on Linux

[Marco Aurelio Torino Ribeiro]

I tried:

setenv DISPLAY :1
X -depth 8

And then, I got the following message:
 
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
        If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
        and start again.

What did (or didn't) I do wrong?


Thanks,
Marco.
