It means just that - it can't connect to the x server. You need to run the programs either in xterm (or equivalent) or set the DISPLAY env variable. In bash you'll do something like : export DISPLAY=':0.0' This will tell the programs to display to your local xserver. -- Andrew Chung [EMAIL PROTECTED] See http://anderoo.dhs.org/~anderoo/pgp.html for PGP key It's a sin only if you dwell on the what ifs and the but ifs
