To me it seems that you have switched to user oracle using su. In that
case the Display 0 on tryps is owned by the User who has logged on to
this machine.

Run a

	xhost +tryps

as the user you have logged onto this machine, and just set the Display
variable $DISPLAY to tryps:0

bash: export DISPLAY=tryps:0
tcsh: setenv DISPLAY tryps:0

HTH
