New subject: [SLE] As a su, emacs can't be displayed..

20 Nov 2003

      hello,

As a newbie, I faced with a kind of simple problem...
In a su mode, i want to open some file with emacs so I typed 'emacs ...' as 
usual.
Then, I got the following message,

emacs: Cannot connect to X server :0.0
Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use '-d'.
Also use the 'xhost' program to verify that is is set to permit
connections form your machine.

What should I to fix this problem?

Thanks,

CK,
