System name:		m4-035-4
Type and version:	POWER 7.6F
Display type:		graygda

What were you trying to do?
	Run remote X clients on the local X server.  I was properly
Xhosted and everything.

What's wrong:
	It says that the display can't be opened.  I noticed that
/etc/services is conspicously missing port 6000 for X client
connections to the local server.

What should have happened:
	I would get my X apps, and /etc/services would be the same as
every other athena workstation.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	No references.  I have experienced this problem in the past
and never got a reasonable explaination for why it still remains.  I
hope that there is a reason why I can do this on color RS6000's and
not on greyscale.
