I have a user that logs into my AIX 5.1 system using openssh. He starts his Exceed server and is able to start X apps successfully. However, when he su's to a different id he no longer has his display variable set and he cannot start any X apps. He gets the following error message when trying to start xclock after the su:

X connection to finapdev2:12.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

He tries to set his display but still has no success.
 
how does he try to set his display?
