				I am trying to start an application under X. Maybe even the basic terminal. Anyone that can help with this?
I did try a simple DISPLAY=:0 /mnt/bin/ash 
Any help appreciated

we already played around with this but remember that such app will NOT have ANY access to sound system 

 Also NO input from remote etc.

Thank you

				yeah check my ubuntu tutorial 

 You can display but don't treat as "the start" it's the END

				I did see the ubuntu tutorial. That is very very interesting. However I am looking if there is a way to use the existing running X server same like exeAPP and exeTV do.
Thank you

It looks you did "see" but you didn't read/understand the tutorial 

 It describes how to use EXISTING X server
