Ric,

read this:

Your error is there. I used to use something like this for connecting
my TV to :1. I call the script "display.auth"  :

#!/bin/sh
# Allows the use of :1 for X.
# By default the file /tmp/.gdmxxxxxx is used.
# At each new session this script should be run.
#
xauth add "$(/bin/hostname)/unix:1" MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 \
$( xauth list | egrep "$(/bin/hostname)/unix:0" | awk '{print $3}' )
