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@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.
