[Pxc] Problem

Hi rob,

Once upon a time, I heard Rob Deuel say

It sounds like your are running the "pxc_xgrab" with the wrong environment
for X. May be, you did su to root and try to run those programs or run 
those programs in linux console.

I believe that pxc_load does set permission of the device to 666, therefore,
you can use normal user account to access the device.

Check your environment that it is sane, e.g. the DISPLAY variable. If it's
there, check the permission of the display, xhost may help.
