I did try from a non-priv account "xterm &" and a it appeared on my
desktop. I started JtR from there but same behavior. I exited and started
JtR and the same behavior.
I also have the DISPLAY variable and allowed X access with "xhost +"

$ cat .bashrc | grep DISPLAY
export DISPLAY=:0

$ xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host

Then I logged off and connected back using ssh and executed:

$ sudo ./john 3-base.md5crypt.pw --format=md5crypt-opencl --dev=0,1 --fork=2
[sudo] password for user:
initUnicode(UNICODE, ASCII/ASCII)

Had to run  JtR with sudo because without sudo the opencl devices were not
listed .. maybe I have somehow a broken installation of drivers and so on
and so forth ...
I am going to reinstall the OS and follow this guide
https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=linux_server_howto .. then if you
someone is willing to help me debug this FORK issue I am all for it.

On a different note, I got a Gygabyte R9 290x in case someone wants to
perform some tests I am available to run those.

Thank you for the help!
Luis
