[CLUE-Tech] exporting linux display to a different system

[Dale K. Hawkins]

Oh, yes.  My old nemesis ssh.  I have found that a lot can be learned
by running your own server in verbose debug mode on the host (on a
separate port), and then connecting with client in debug mode.

But as to your specific problem, check the X11Forwarding option (it
should be set to yes).  You can have sshd use a custom config file
using the -f option if you are not able to muck around in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.

Lots of good info in the man pages, sshd(8) and sshd_config(5).

Probably will not work because the X11 server is not setup to listen
on TCP.

Check the DISPLAY variable first.  Should be set to "sys1:10.0".  If
not play around with the X11Forwarding option and the -X command line
option.
