Greetings,
Is there a display variable somewhere that needs to be set (FreeBSD
2.1)? I encounter the message "unable to open display" (sometimes it's
unable to open display '' or unable to open $DISPLAY ) when I attempt
to run ghostscript, or the fvwm window manager for X, or a few other
apps. I'm new to FreeBSD and UNIX in general and realize I've probably
missed something, but I've been messing around with it, and reading man
pages for 3 weeks now and can't find the answer.
Thanks
Randy
