I'm guessing you're logged in as a normal user and did an su -
correct?

I just checked that and it worked for me, but I seem to remember a
time when it didn't.

For a simple solution in either case, try:
xhost +localhost (before su'ing)
and then su and run linuxconf.

HTH,

P.S. this is probably a more appropriate question for a general linux
list (like redhat-list@redhat.com).
