You do not have permission to connect to the X server. Now, if you have more then one X secession open, then you may have to pass the display to your program, or set the DISPLAY variable. (DISPLAY is not set for a CLI login if you started X from another login.) You run into this problem with any that tryes to connect to the X server if you do not "own" the X server. (Unless you turn off access control.) With you logged in as root to the GUI, this is not the problem yo are running into - this is why I asked the question - to determine if this was your problem. As I don't log into the GUI as root, I am not sure if it causes problems with PA, but I am guessing that it does. I have not problems with PA when I am logged in as a normal user. If you have some spare time, try logging in as a normal user and see if that changes anything. If everything works, it is a good indication of a bug on how root is handled. If it does not work, then it is a good indication that it is a problem with your specific hardware/software combination...
