<PRE>Hi,
Not sure when this started happening but I presume it's a deliberate change.
When I login via text console while already running X11, and do: "export
DISPLAY=:0; xeyes", I expect to see some googly eyes on my desktop when
I switch back.
But this doesn't seem to work these days. Is there something I can do to
make this work again? I suspect it's maybe related to not knowing the
path to the X11 socket file or something?
Either way, some hints from those more informed than me are appreciated!
