That's fine. I'm logged in at the console, not ssh'd in and yes x is
working fine.


I'm running as the oracle user

[root at openindiana:/tank/iso] #su - oracle


And interesting that xload gives an error when I try to run it as the
oracle user.

 I've tried setting a few variables for DISPLAY:

-bash-4.0$ export DISPLAY=":0.0"
-bash-4.0$ xload
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Error: Can't open display: :0.0

-bash-4.0$ export DISPLAY="localhost:0.0"

-bash-4.0$ xload
Error: Can't open display: localhost:0.0
-bash-4.0$ export DISPLAY="openindiana:0.0"

-bash-4.0$ xload
Xlib: connection to "openindiana:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Error: Can't open display: openindiana:0.0


I would think that either my hostname or localhost would work, but not so far.

-bash-4.0$ hostname
openindiana


I don't have DISPLAY set in a resource file so I'm just exporting it
on the command line before trying to install oracle.

Thanks
Tim
