  if you're running it from virtual console you have to set the DISPLAY
variable:

  export DISPLAY=":0" # sh (bash, ksh etc)
  setenv DISPLAY :0 " csh (tcsh)

  (I assume it's the first display on local machine, if not use host:N
instead of :0)

  alternatively you can run most of X programs with -display :0 argument
