One thing that looks wrong is it should be DISPLAY=:0.0, you're missing a colon. The second thing that might be wrong is authorization. If your Xserver is started with an -auth switch, you need to export XAUTHORITY=some-path where that file contains the same session cookie that the server has and is readable by whatever process is trying to connect to the server. You can poke around with xauth -f path list to see what is in a cookie file if you need to. _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
