You shouldn't need to set it explicitly, unless you're running it from
a command outside X (e.g. from a DOS prompt), and even then it should
only need to be set to ":0.0".

You have remembered to actually start X first, haven't you?
Experiment by starting X (use "startx" or run xinit directly).
Check out /tmp/XWin.log to see if any errors are reported.
