xhost +localhost returns the same error.
DisallowTCP is commented in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
The issue seems to be that gdm isn't running...is it supposed to be running in runlevel 3?
If so...what is the right way to start it?
switch to runlevel 5:
# /sbin/init 5
this will make gdm start. however, you may also want to create the file /etc/X1.hosts and populate it with the hostnames or IP addresses of the machine(s) from which you will be connecting.
do this before you go to runlevel 5.
