Do you have any crash logs in Console ? Any other messages ?<br class="">
<br class="">
What application are you running ? Try install a simple one like xclock and see if that works ?<br class="">
<br class="">
Have you tired removing then reinstalling the xorg-server port ?<br class="">
<br class="">
Are you actually using the xorg-server X11 server or do you perhaps have another one installed instead ?<br class="">
<br class="">
Have you logged out and back in again, as required by the xorg-server instalation ?<br class="">

One possible issue is that if you are logging into a machine as a different user than the one you are on, X won’t let that user display on your local screen. To overcome that issue, you can issue the command xhost + before you try to bring up an X window,
but note that this version of xhost allows any program to display on your local computer.
