Re: [orca-list] problem using xclip on a regular tty

In case of fenrir what runs as background service this is not always true, but most users runs anyway just a 
single X (if not using bumblebee or stuff). Display >1 is mostly just a error case when X did some restart. 
By the way you dont need an second X for multiple monitors or workspaces.

As an aside, if I have several Xorg servers running (cf. my previous message)
the value of $DISPLAY differs among virtual screens for the same user.

For instance from the display bound to tty7 I have $DISPLAY=0 but from
the one bound to tty8 I have $DISPLAY=2 as told by the set or echo
comamnds.

Hmmm, DISPLAY= should show in the output of the set command. At least it
does so here.

Fenrir bruteforces the displays from 0 to 20 (or something like that) to send one of its clipboards to X

Is there no way to query for that data?

Somewhere there must be a howto that would be informative. It strikes me
that many power users who are sighted use multiple monitors, so there
would indeed bevalues other than :0.

Note, the =: part of the setting reflects localhost. I thought I should
just note that fact for completeness here, because it seems it's
possible there'd be an ip address between the equals sign and the colon.

Howdy,

Sometimes your display is not :0. Try :1, :2, etc. If you get to :9 and it hasn't worked, that is most 
likely not the issue.

Thanks,
Storm

John,
You must be the same user iI think.
I.E. startx as user john in one tty and in another, log in as john.
Then do export DISPLAY=:0
Then:
echo 'some string'|xclip -i
What to do in X itself, follow Janina's instructions, as you
might have gathered, I am no gui guru.
HTH, Willem

I am trying to get data from the speakup clipboard to the X
clipboard.  If I do
xclip -i <string>
it says cannot open display.  If I do
DISPLAY=:0;xclip -i <string> I get the following error:
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyError: Can't open display: :0

How can I get this to work, or is it impossible?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
