setGraphicsEventEnv() not supported under Linux?

Question

I'd like to run a script containing an interactive part on a Ubuntu 64 bit machine. Unfortunately it fails throwing the following error:

Error in setGraphicsEventEnv(which, as.environment(list(...))) : 
  this graphics device does not support event handling

Any hints how I can setup R such that it supports event handling? X11 should be supported according to the documentation.

This examples fails on my machine with the error above: http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/grDevices/html/getGraphicsEvent.html

Thanks! Durin

X11(type="Xlib") fixed the issue. Thanks!
