Root can't run X programs

[David Krider <david@davidkrider.com>]

After this:


kriderde@tyrannus:~$ xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host


I still get this:


tyrannus:~# export DISPLAY=localhost:0
tyrannus:~# eroaster
28.04.2003 16:48:16.745 ERROR main [Main] An error occured: cannot open
display


Can anyone tell me why?

Thanks,
dk
