Thanks Eric. U provided a good clue. I got it running and heres what I did incase any one needs to know.My Xen server runs Apache and I have VNC server enabled on it as a no priv user.
This user has, in there ,bashrc; xhost +In my Python script running server side via http://xen-dom-U-apache- server/python-script.py, I have
print os.putenv('DISPLAY',':3')
print.os.system('some program that needs display to run')
Its 3 because I have VNC running on port 3 to avoid any Xen console
conflicts with dom0.
This allowed the program needing a display to work on the Apache server. On Oct 20, 2009, at 6:23 PM, Eric Covener wrote:

Your Xserver has access control that is automagically sorted out for you by your desktop session or ssh client. It will be a little complicated having your Apache user be able to securely access your X server. "DISPLAY environment variable", "xauth", and "x11 forwarding" might be some good background. -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx ---------------------------------------------------------------------The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info.
