Monique, it displays as it should: :0.0. My problem only with root. HainesPlease don't CC me. (If somehow my sig isn't clear enough, please let me know how I can make it so.) Anyway, the point of my question and your answer: since your normal user successfully uses the setting of DISPLAY=:0.0 , I suggest trying ... Oh wait a minute. I just looked at my .bashrc, etc and think I've noticed the problem. Try simply doing this: DISPLAY=:0.0 export DISPLAY (note that I don't use "set" at all) Since :0.0 works, I don't see any real reason to use teufel explicitly, but if your hostname is properly set up, it shouldn't be a problem.
Why not just use 'su' (with no parameters) or 'su - -p'?
-m, -p, --preserve-environment
do not reset environment variables, and keep the same shell
That will preserve things like X display dettings. Just an idea.
