First you need to allow access to the xserver from other hosts/users. So as the user you ARE running X as open a console and type xhost +127.0.0.1 this will allow everyone comming from localhost. now su to root. Now since it's not root's X vars aren't set and it doesn't know where to look for X. so type export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 now start xemacs and it should work. regards > Hi all, > > I'm using SuSE 7.3 with Gnome and everthing works fine.
