X Display does not work without devices

[Sjoerd <sjoerd-amd64@linuxonly.nl>]

I followed the Debian AMD64 HOWTO to set up a chroot environment with an 
ia32 setup in it. However, when I tried to start up a program, I got the 
following error:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

The following seemed to solve this (in the chroot, as root):
# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV generic-i386

Furthermore, do not try to run X programs as root, it will probably not 
work.

Just for your information and for people who also get this error.
