Any other ideas?
This is typical of a system with X forwarding disabled in its
sshd_config or a broken X environment, e.g. no xauth program installed.
As a result, no DISPLAY environment variable has been set. If the
problem was with the local side configuration, but the forwarding was
working, your xeyes error would be something like:
Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0
To confirm your X display server is working, "xset q" may be a more
useful command than "xeyes" because xset is usually part of a package of
core X utilities that are almost always present in a working X world
(e.g. in MacPorts the xorg-server port depends on xinit which depends on
xset.)
