Can't run nvidia-settings as root(SOLVED)

I'm having some trouble running nvidia-settings as root or sudo.I'm getting an error message:

[unilx@xxxx bin]$ sudo nvidia-settings
No protocol specified

ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run `nvidia-settings --help` for usage information.

Never mind i found a solution here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=81901
