A minor addition:

This "display" Colin's talking about is the environment variable (or
envar for short) DISPLAY and you can unset it by:

unset DISPLAY (sh, bash, etc)

or

unsetenv DISPLAY (csh, tcsh)

If you're using the local display(s), its value should look like
":0.0", or in case you're using the second screen, ":0.1", etc.
