in an Xterm window, as "superuser" - root, i get "Error: cannot open display" errors when i try to launch a "graphics" application such as XV, GV, GhostView, Netscape, etc. i know i shouldn't want to do this, but was wondering if something is wrong. ------------------------------------------------ all my text based apps work ok. and all my graphical based apps work ok as a normal user.
