[Cialug] raspbery pi monitor

[Jeffrey Ollie]

The display number isn't always 0, try variations of:

DISPLAY=:N xeyes

where N >= 0.  0, 1 and 10 are possibilities. If that doesn't work, the
next time you're in front of the display, open a command prompt and type
"echo $DISPLAY" and use that value.
