I must have forgotten how I solved the problem, it was some time ago.
I am sure Peter's suggestion below makes sense. It seems to have the
advantage that X11 will work with all Emacs stuff, not just R.
However, I am certain this is not how I did it.
After going through my configuration files I think the following id
the solution: create (or modify) the file ~/.Rprofile, to contain
something like
if(Sys.getenv("DISPLAY") == "")
Sys.putenv("DISPLAY" = ":0.0")
The reason why you do not get an X11 window after modifying your
DISPLAY setting is probably because the default plotting device was
set up as you started R, but after ~/.Rprofile has been read. I would
assume that the following would work from an R session
R> Sys.putenv(DISPLAY = ":0.0")
R> x11()
since it specifically asks for an X11 device. What you get out of
the .Rprofile is just that your default plot device gets altered.
If this still does not work, I must look through my configuration
again ... :)
