Linux support for Mac hardware (Re: [Techtalk] Linux Laptops)

[Maria McKinley]

for bash:

if [ ${#DISPLAY} -eq 0 ]; then
          export DISPLAY=':0.0'
fi

for tsch:

setenv DISPLAY :0.0

Put whichever is appropriate in the appropriate config file for your 
shell.  I think the terminal program native to os x is better than the 
xterm in X11, so now I only use the terminal program.

cheers,
maria
