Here's a naive user's question:  I understand that the X Server sits
on a "standard" port, namely 6000+N, where N is the display number.  Were
X11 R1 applications/servers written to allow multiple displays?  (Ie. when
     ^
did this port-selection scheme become "standard"? or has the multiple-display
requirement always been there?) I'm getting an error when I try to start up
the server on display one (instead of zero).

Any information would be appreciated.
