Hi Justin,

The command "ps aux | grep Xorg" will show you how your X server is running.  
For example, you should see something like "/usr/bin/Xorg :0 -nr ..."

Then, check the environmental variable $DISPLAY with the command "echo 
$DISPLAY".

If it is not set, you can set it with the command "setenv DISPLAY :0.0" (in 
tcsh) or "export DISPLAY=:0.0" (for bash).
