this is a very basic Linux/UNIX question: You logged into a host via telnet or rsh and called a X program. There need to be the following prerequisites to achieve a X output on your local workstation.
- X must be running locally
- your X server must be told to allow X output from the Oracle host (xhost + servername)
- the remote program must know where to connect to the X server (export DISPLAY=myhost:0.0)

Item 2 and 3 can be ignored if you are using ssh instead of telnet or rsh since the ssh protocol is able to tunnel X requests. Do use ssh!

Regards!
