when you log in as a normal user, startx and then access
superuser privileges... you have your DISPLAY env
variable not setted...
try this:
inside X started as normal user at one console:
$ su -
etc..
$ echo $DISPLAY --> this will output the contents of your DISPLAY
variable
if nothing is echoed... then
$ export $DISPLAY=yourhostname.yourdomainname:0.0
then again chek your DISPLAY variable and it will output the string over
there,
so you are ready to start every program (not only xconfig) that uses X
hope this helps
ciao fede
