Exactly. I have no idea why this is not working. I'll try some stuff like the DISPLAY and see what happens.

But, does anyone use the new ubuntu and have these problems? Is it to do with the new Xorg configuration (or lack thereof)?
Code:
ssh thesandlord@172.16.10.13
Linux thesandlord-desktop 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Thu Oct 30 04:18:38 UTC 2008 i686

The programs included with the Ubuntu system are free software;
the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the
individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.

Ubuntu comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by
applicable law.

thesandlord@thesandlord-desktop:~$ firefox
Error: no display specified
thesandlord@thesandlord-desktop:~$ rhythmbox
Cannot open display:
Run 'rhythmbox --help' to see a full list of available command line options.
thesandlord@thesandlord-desktop:~$
It also looks like 8.10 hates static IP, so now my internet is broken. Back to 8.04 for me...

Edit: I don't want to hijack this thread, and I don't think its a tablet problem, so...
