Tuan,

I imagine this is an X Display issue.  Are you running openev on a different
system from the one that is your display system?  Perhaps you need to run
"xhost +" on your host system, or fix your DISPLAY environment variable to
point to the right place.

On the off chance that is not the issue, you might also try running openev
without the -h switch for using hardward acceleration.

Best regards,
