Hi! Im getting the following error on OS Buster, pi Zero W, Python 3.7:

Traceback (most recent call last):

if resolutions else '')
ImportError: this platform is not supported: ('failed to acquire X connection: Bad display name ""', DisplayNameError(''))

Try one of the following resolutions:

• Please make sure that you have an X server running, and that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly

I have the Dot Matrix up and running and all the dependencies installed. The one thing I noticed that was different from your build is that I am running python3, whereas your build appears to be on python2.7. I dont have the option to run 2.7 as luma.led_matrix is no longer supports it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@cdgriffith
managed to downgrade luma.led_matrix and luma.core so I could use this program (its not compatible with Python3 and luma no longer supports 2.7), but it always returns the same error when i try to run:

This issue appears regardless of whether run local or ssh
