Not quite.

:d.s

d is the display
s is the screen

It is possible in X to have multiple screens attached to the same display.

:0.0 is the first display and first screen it is on port 6000
:0.1 is the first display and second screen it is on port 6000

:1.0 is the second display and first screen it is on port 60001

See the DISPLAY NAMES section of X(1)

Normally in Solaris if you have multiple framebuffers then they are
all setup as the same display but different screens (or if you are using
Xinerama then the same logical screen).

You should use something stronger than xhost. See the GRANTING ACCESS
section of Xserver(1) and Xsecurity(7).
