This should be

export DISPLAY=192.168.1.1:0.0

and that is the IP of your main box. I don't know for sure, but I don't
think you can run an X server inside UML, only X clients and you ran
startx in UML which is not what you want at all. Once you have the right
export and xhost options, you just run the X app like xterm.

I can't test this out because I don't have X client libs or networking
setup on my own UML setup. I'm still getting used of it
