unable open xterm

[Usuário do Sistema]

disregard my before email! sorry.


I've just tried:

1- export DISPLAY=:0.0

2- xauth -f path list
xauth:  creating new authority file path

but the same error occur when I run xterm

Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the root user.

program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable.
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s

I'dont know very well X Server! so...follow any questions:

1- it's necessary a monitor plug in machine full time ?? ( I'm access
the mechine by ssh and it hasn't monitor )

2- I see nothing when I ran "xauth -f path list" neither path to the
file cookie as you commented below only the message:
         xauth:  creating new authority file path


thank!
