Bash?
Authored by: cerbero on Oct 21, '02 03:21:58PM

How do I do this using Bash? After I have set the DISPLAY variable to :0.0 in bash, I can do "echo $DISPLAY", and it echoes the correct value, but when I try to open an X11 app, I still get the error message saying it can't open a display. Weird thing is, when using Bash in xterm, it works like a charm, and I have the same value for DISPLAY there. And yes, it works perfectly using tcsh in the Terminal.
Anyone got an idea?

I'm having the exact same problem and can't find the answer anywhere. Did anyone ever answer you?
