I notice that you have a root prompt before the xhost command. This implies you are doing this in the wrong order. It should be:
1. log in as non-root user. make all the things you need to make. Then, as that user, run 'xhost +' 2. su to root. do this: 'export DISPLAY=:0.0' 3.�run your commands as root. All X programs will run. 4. After you log out of root, be sure to undo the 'xhost +' command with 'xhost -' On Mon, 07 Oct 2002 13:30:56-0700"Philip J.
