can't open display when using X utilities



Dear sirs,
 
I'm still struggling with the titled problem of having twm, xdm, or any x utility on my sparc10 box not able to start up and
prompting the error:  can't open display "".
 
I used xhost + and it prompts the same error.
 
I used to use env DISPLAY=<my machine name with who command>:0  and so I tried that but the same problem persists.
 
I used dmesg to see if at boot time stdout or tty is detected and I found nothing related to the display.
 
How should I proceed to be able to use the xwindows utility or xviewer utilities?
 
I do have xdm, twm, xsession etc. starting up but all had the same can't open display "" problem.
 
Thanks and bst rgds,
Victor
