thats because the X server requires authentication to connect to it by default. you can configure the authentication paramters using the xhost command (usually do xhost +localhost). You probably have to have your X server configured to listen for TCP connections if you want to su & run X apps. Otherwise, turn on X11 forwarding in ssh (/etc/ssh/sshd_config) if it's not already, restart the ssh server and ssh -l root -X localhost and run your X app(s) that way. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
