Hi, I don't think it is a Xorg-related issue, but rather an ssh thing. I assume you added the line:
X11Forwarding yes
to /etc/sshd_config in your server (the laptop, as I understand).
Try add the line
ForwardX11Trusted yes
to /etc/ssh_config (NOT sshd_config) in your client, which should be
the new arch install if I am correct. I found this solved a lot of
problems for me when trying to connect to a headless server
(sheevaplug, or other arch servers) from my arch laptop.
Bye,
