I cannot run X programs like xclock or xterm.
With xclock I get this (depending on how I have $DISPLAY set):
Error: Can't open display: HOME:0
Error: Can't open display: HOME:0.0
Error: Can't open display: localhost:0
Error: Can't open display: localhost:0.0
Error: Can't open display: 192.168.1.7:0
Error: Can't open display: 192.168.1.7:0.0
[...]
Any ideas what's wrong?
Did you try DISPLAY=:0.0?
