the $DISPLAY environment variable tells X clients which X server to
use. EMACS shouldn't need an X display to run, check the docs for your

are you running an X display? if so then your $DISPLAY should be set
automatically; we'd need more info about your X environment to be able
to say why that isn't happening.
