Just thinking off the top of my head:

1. Try putting: "Display=true" in your .ini file instead.
2. If you're not using a povray.ini file, it's a lot easier to deal with
than command-line switches.
3. Also, try "povray myscene.pov -display localhost:0" and see if that
works.
4. If that doesn't work, try "xhost +", and then step 3.
