I would like to > hear from you. It can be done - in fact that's how this mail is being written. Can you post the values of X11DisplayOffset and X11Forwarding (also X11UseLocalhost, XAuthLocation if they are set) in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the headless machine and ForwardX11 (and ForwardX11Trusted if set) in /etc/ssh/ssh_config on the client. Then check that the display string set on the client machine works, ssh to the headless machine and echo $DISPLAY.
