Yes it is!

But you seem to misunderstand the client-server-concept of the
X-System: The server is the machine which has the keyboard, monitor
and mouse (usually with some user attached), while the client is the
machine that uses these ressources for its programs. Usually the
client is the machine with tons of ram and gigs of hard drive.

Yes you can use the X-client of your Linux-Server, to display anything
on the laptop. Try running "X -query 1.2.3.4" (on the laptop) where you
substitue 1.2.3.4 with your linux server's IP. Better do this from
runlevel 3, as I am not to sure if SuSE is configured for several X
displays at once and even if it is, there is the rest of possibility
that your graphics card does not like it! Better "init 3" first.

If you want to start "X -query..." automatically, instead of locally,
look into /etc/init.d for the file "xdm" (or maybe "kdm", if you use
the K Display Manager for login on that laptop) and replace the
appropriate display manager lines by "X -query...".
