Odd. Maybe related to the following.

This display stuff is really odd. I would have expected "Display has  
been set to 0:0" to only show up when using TeX in X11. Have you  
installed some TeX-related X11 stuff? Such as Peter Dyballa's X11 TeX  
package?

This message is a known bug in the latest XeTeX distro (v. 0.995 rev.  
D). So far the only cure is to compile from source, in case you have  
the Developer Tools (= Xcode) installed.

Retrieve <http://scripts.sil.org/svn-view/xetex/TRUNK.tar.gz? 
view=tar> and then follow the instructions at the bottom of the  
"XeTeX for Linux" page <http://scripts.sil.org/xetex_linux>:

- Uncompress and unarchive TRUNK.tar.gz (double-clicking it in the  
Finder should do that for you).

- Open Terminal.

- cd to the directory TRUNK so created (type cd followed by a space,  
and then, in the Finder, drag the folder TRUNK onto the Terminal  
window and press Return).

- Type in (compilation will take some time -- be warned):

	sh build-xetex

- Type in:

	sudo sh install-xetex

Your newest XeTeX is now ready for use!

Hope this helps,
