As of now, I removed the entire graphical user environment from this
disk since I was getting too much keyboard latency and probably install
it later then I will return to this problem. Before that, I'll try all
of this with a system that doesn't use startx to run the graphical user
environment and see if I get lucky in there. For those that use startx
to start their graphical user environments, does a way exist to stop the
graphical user environment and return to command line environment short
of powering down the system?

What happened if you don't set the DISPLAY variable (post the error if any
along with the command and where are you executing/entering it)?
Are you on Debian 9 (Stretch)?
Why do you need 'xclip' and what are you trying to accomplish?

I don't use mate but if it is like gnome:

"Alt+F2 allows entering a command to launch an application."
So from now on could you enter the commands in a terminal?
There is no need to redirect the output of 'echo $DISPLAY' to a file.

As Paul said, something is very rong here.
