To answer to your question: there's no such variable, but two special
hostnames: �localhost� and the your machine's local hostname, so setting
export DISPLAY=localhost:0
would make it work.
But doing that would be using the X Server's tcp socket, which is
deprecated for security reasons. The Debian people even added "-nolisten
tcp" to their xserverrc, to switch that off.
Better use �local� (that is, unix domain socket) addresses, which are
faster, safer and don't depend on any local ones.
To do so, just
export DISPLAY=:0
