Hello,

  I get the error 'xterm_open: $DISPLAY not set' upon startup of a
home-made fs UML (kernel 2.6.24).  I've searched the mailing list
archive and there's one reply by blaisorblade about this which points
to:

        if (!getenv("DISPLAY")) {
                printk("xterm_open: $DISPLAY not set.\n");
                return -ENODEV;
        }

  And there's an outdated link that had some more explanation about
this.

  I've compared with already-made available UML fs and none have a
DISPLAY environment setting.  I've made the fs using a small system and
copied everything into the fs.  The original small system boots fine.
I find it strange that the UML complains about a DSIPLAY variable.
inittab has one tty line like (the following others are presently
commented out):

0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty tty1 38400

Any suggestions to solve this ar welcomed.

Cheers,

Al
