You need both $DISPLAY and $XAUTHORITY set to connect to an X server.

The ACPI scripts in Ubuntu have a getXuser function defined in
/usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs that sets XAUTHORITY correctly for
the X server running on $displaynum.

If you're the only user of the laptop, you might just hardcode
XAUTHORITY to /home/$yourusername/.Xauthority.

The BeOS takes the best features from the major operating systems. It's got
the power and flexibility of Unix, the interface and ease of use of the Mac=
OS,
and Minesweeper from Windows.
