Couple of more possibilites... 

how about just plain old
xhost +
( this enables anyone/anything to put up a display... )

... also... you said CLI a few times... I'm assuming that you 
have started up your XWindows.... if not, start up x and then 
try ogle. 

Lastly... what is the exact error your getting? 
Are you getting: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
 
Error: Can't open display: :0.0

or something different? 

Lastly, Lastly... what does your /var/log/XFree86.0.log
show when you try and connect?
