Thanks you all for the input.

I finally got this to work ... it turns out my Xauthority had to be
updated ... probably not helped by the fact that I scp'd my home
directory from a CentOS laptop to the amd64 box, do the Xauthority had
'remnants' of the old box.

To get it to work, did did the following:

- Installed xauth on the remote server (it was a minimal install)
     'sudo yum install xorg-x11-xauth'   under CentOS4

- on the amd box with X.org:
 xauth extract - $DISPLAY | ssh zimbradev /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth merge -
 (zimbradev is the remote host)

Both -X and -Y forwarding work fine now with not additional configuration.

Thanks again for the help.
