Fixing “unable to connect to display”
When I reboot my Macbook Pro, use Terminal to log in to some other system, and then try to display something back to the Macbook, I always get the unable-to-connect error message.
What fixes it is killing X and restarting it (luckily it lives in the Dock).
I wonder if it is a problem with the startup order? But I don’t know how to change that.
